## **Chair’s Report**
In my first year as Interim Chair, we have undergone significant change at Love Squared. We welcomed another Trustee to the Board, who has given up huge amounts of time and expertise to support the charity, working with the wider team through renewed governance with subcommittees established across a range of areas. This has allowed us to systematically identify areas across the organisation for targeted operational improvement whilst also implementing a new process for tracking governance. An enhanced risk register was developed to support the Board to effectively manage their risks, minimising threats and maximising opportunities to ensure that we meet the needs of the children, young people and families we serve.
Taking over after some turbulence, I have worked closely with the Board to stabilise the charity and strengthen its long-term resilience. We are deeply grateful for the funding from the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) which helped enable this. As part of this work, we made the difficult decision towards the end of the period to undertake a restructure to bring sustainability to the charity and create long-term financial resilience and a more effective organisational structure. To support this process, we engaged an external HR consultancy, whose expertise allowed us to manage the transition thoughtfully and ensure that staff felt well supported throughout.
We recognise that change can feel unsettling and, at times, stressful. Throughout this year, we have made every effort to ensure that staff wellbeing remained at the heart of our decisionmaking. In 2025, we increased sick and holiday pay and improved access to counselling support so that every member of the team can access counselling and independent wellbeing support. This has been particularly important through a period of organisational change, which also meant the team felt more resilient.
We have continued to develop and sustain partnerships with an amazing group of community organisations who work with us on providing creative workshops for children: Co-Exist (cookery), Alive (intergenerational gardening), Windmill City Farm, Sail with Santa (ferry tour), Soul Train Wellbeing (wellbeing walks), The Kiln Workshop (pottery), and The Island (graffiti).
Whilst we’ve taken steps to build up the charity’s resilience, we know there is still work to do to implement our strategic plan, develop our Radical Kindness campaign, and work towards our ambitions of scaling our services and impact for our children and families. There are still challenges to be addressed in terms of our ongoing recruitment of practitioners in response to growing demand for referrals, but I am confident that the steps we have taken this year have laid strong foundations for future growth.
This year, as presented in our social impact report, we have continued the important work of protecting the children and families we serve, providing holistic, joined up, and specialist services that we know make the most difference. This can be seen with our Glow services, which offer advice and support and advocate and help families build support around them, as well as our specialist education and wellbeing packages for children and young people with education, health and care plans who are affected by social, emotional and mental health as well as other special educational needs and disabilities under our Outreach services.
Our work with our amazing families is a cornerstone of our holistic and long-term approach to supporting children with mental health needs. Through regular communication, where we offer the family support, try to empower parents and carers with the tools they need to support their children and a place to them to be heard, not just as parents or carers but as individual people with needs of their own. By giving them resources, practical strategies, and emotional support,

we help alleviate the stress and isolation that families often feel when navigating complex mental health and special educational needs. We offer acceptance and understanding to allow them to feel that our support is also for the entire family as it is for the young person we are offering our direct support.
Our goal is to bring love to the children and families who might most need it, and our beneficiaries are fundamental to everything we do, and every decision we make. They are the reason why we are here. We have had to make some tough decisions as a Board in 2025, but we know we can only continue this important work as long as our organisation is resilient and has long-term financial sustainability.
As Interim Chair, I have worked closely with Trustees and our team to implement positive changes for Love Squared this year, but I know there is still a lot to learn and navigate as the charity grows and strategically evolves. I want to thank our wonderful team including:
- the lovely staff who manage our services;
- our practitioners who do fantastic work with our children and families;
- the brilliant counsellors/ mentors who bring our specialism of integrative therapeutic approaches and creative arts therapy to our schools and young people’s groups;
- our amazing volunteers who give up so much of their time to volunteer for events and for our emotional support telephone and messaging helpline;
- the trustees who are working so tirelessly as volunteers;
- and our exceptional stakeholders who continue to believe in and support us in lots of varied and important ways.
Most of all - I want to thank our children, families, and all the people who support them - their parents, teachers, carers, workers and friends. Thank you for trusting us enough to let us help.
With love,
Sarah Louise (Interim Chair of Trustees)

OUR VISION
Our vision is a society where
are the everyday words
that people associate with child and family services. It is a vision where young people
can walk into their futures with joy.
OUR MISSION
We want to bring love to children and families, services
if you want to transform outcomes.
We want to change the national landscape of how children experience the mental
health system, putting kindness at the forefront of every interaction. Building awareness,
starting a movement, hearing the children's voices and those of their loved ones.. we
want to transform the experience of those impacted by mental health. are on a mission
to ensure that no child has to lose out on a world of potential because of mental health.
We don't have magic wands, but we do believe that every child and family has the right
to get services designed and delivered for their individual needs, and with love and
imagination. Everyone has
and treated with
curiosity and sensitivity.
We directly deliver imaginative, and carefully case managed services for children and
young people with social, emotional, and mental health needs. We believe that you
can't change outcomes without looking at issues holistically and thoughtfully. For us it's
about long-term change.
Our four key core values are:
Nuture
Imagination
Brave
Love
We use and embed these values in our practice with children and young people, and in our
work with wider stakeholders and team.
Working with children impacted by mental health and often by intersectional special
educational needs and neurodivergence,
and
ore the key stones for
transformational services. When our children say that we are 'kind', that sense of kindness
and being nurtured is often the relational factor that leads to them being able to feel safer to
express themselves, to leave the house for the first time, or tell us about something that feels
fearful. It directly relates to outcomes.
Many of our children have complex and intersectional needs, these can be because they
have a number of needs in place (such as a mental health condition and neurodivergence),
or because of multiple traumas or because they have a lot going on at home.
is
needed to develop individualised support and services and tailor them to each child's needs.
Its also needed when we create sensory resources from wool, soil, and whatever we have in
our bags that day, and to be able to probelm solve on the spot as we deliver complex and
thoughful services.
We recognise how
our young people have to be to pursue and define their aspirations
and to live within systems which haven't always been designed to meet their needs, and the
bravery of the parentl carers who so often have to fight to advocate for the children they
love so much.
WHOWE HELP
We support children and young
people, from primary age upwards
impacted by mental health and
special educational needsl
neurodivergence. Some have
diagnosed conditions, while others
are still waiting for the help they need.
Many have endured trauma, distress,
or additional health conditions that
make everyday life feel
overwhelming. Some may carry their
anxiety so heavy that it can change
their behaviour, their ability to cope,
whilst others are struggling with
intrusive thoughts, self-harming,
suicidal thoughts, feeling lonely or too
unconfident to make friends or leave
the house. Others might just be
feeling a bit anxious, or find it hard to
express their feelings.
They consistently demonstrate strength,
resilience, and creativity. They don't just need
support," they need to be wrapped in love, to
know that they are not alone, and to feel the
warmth of a community that cares about
them and their families.The challenges they
face touch every part of their lives. Some are
unable to attend school, often leading to
increased isolation that can worsen their
mental health. Others struggle with anxiety so
severe that they cannot leave their homes, or
even their rooms, for days or weeks at a time.
Some face ongoing crises, self-harm, or
thoughts of suicide. These children deserve
joy, friendship, safety, and a future filled with
possibility. They deserve to learn, to grow, and
to step into a world where services can meet
their needs with the love and imagination
they deserve.
We take referrals from Social Care,
Schools, Local Authorities,
Parentslcarers, children and young
people referring themselves and their
friends. With every referral we take we
try to off er something to them and go
above and beyond to make sure that
even if we are not the right provision
for them, they leave feeling helped
and supported and more
empowered, knowing that they can
always call back to talk and hear a
supportive voice or ask for more
advice. Many of our children have
experienced really difficult things
domestic violence, abuse, bullying,
identity struggles, and the
responsibilities of being young carers.
WHATWE DO: GLOW
Under Glow, we offer a range of services to children and young people impacted by
mental health and those who need specialism in neurodivergence and special
educational needs. Children and young people are referred to this service by schools,
social care, NHS, family, peers or young people themselves. Around each service, we
offer advice and support and advocate and help the family to build a team around
them (if they need one). We always ask,
is a telephone and texting emotional support service that provides
long term weekly sessions for young people (ages10-18) experiencing issues surrounding
mental health and emotional wellbeing. Sessions are via phonel text and provide a
space to talk and be heard. Drop the Pressure is facilitated by a small team of
experienced volunteer listeners who are supervised onsite by a BACP children and
adolescent therapist. Drop the Pressure also off ers wrap around support and advice to
children, young people and families who might need additional help.
Unlike other telephone services for children, DTP offers continuity of support with the
same person which might be particularly important for children and young people with
neurodivergence who struggle with change and expectations, and for children who have
been through a lot of trauma and don't want to have to tell their story again and again.
Young people know they share each week ( or message) and build a relationship over
the time they need.
These are specialist small groups for
children and young people who may be feeling anxious or isolated. The groups aim to
build confidence, friendships, and improve wellbeing in a supportive environment with
guidance from a lead mental health practitioner. We wrap these group projects around
with I:1 follow ups and family support. The online groups we ran last year were:
(year 4 and 5) Remix is a specialist online group for children and young people to
connect with others and express themselves through games, play and creative activities.
The group is aimed at children who might be feeling isolated and anxious and who enjoy
creative activities.
(year 6 and 7) Transitions is an online social group built around the
theme of transition and change through conversation, games and creative
activities. The group is aimed at children who may be feeling anxious, isolated
or anyone struggling to fit in with peers. It supports educational change as
children adjust to the new environment of secondary school which some can
f ind particularly diff icult
(year 6, 7 and 8)Game On is a specialist online group for children
and young people to play games and socialise with peers through a shared
loved of gaming. The group is aimed at young people who might be feeling
isolated, anxious or those struggling to fit in with peers who enjoy gaming and
feel most comfortable in an online s
ace.
are held during the school
holidays and are a chance for our
children and young people to gain
new skills, new experiences and meet
a wider range of people. We have
been able to provide opportunities
from
and
to
graffit art with spray and colour.
We've built amazing partnerships
with Co-Exist Kitchen who support
delivery of amazing cooking
workshops and Alive Activities who
we have partnered with to provide
gardening and sensory nature
activities. We also ran wider trips and
activities enabling children to ease
into social transitions with peers,
access green nature and art as a
means for regulation.
Our children's counsellor delivers a range
of creative art techniques through in person sessions to groups of primary school
children, where the school feel they really need therapeutic support to help embed
wellbeing and preventative mental health support. The workshops navigate the
mental health impacts of social media, friendships, resilience and transitions and
incorporate group discussions, creative art and play therapy. We work in
partnership with schools who can pick and choose the workshops most relevant to
their cohort and then the support can be tailored to the individual needs of that
school andlor year group from reception upwards.
This year, we've had two children's counsellors working in primary schools to off er
individual counsellingland or therapeutic mentoring. The school refer children who they
feel are particularly struggling with anxiety or trauma such as domestic violence,
bereavement, separation and we prioritise schools where they do not have funding or
budget for their own school counsellor and where there is particular high level of need for
additional mental health support required. It can otherwise be impossible for schools to
get the counselling they know these children so badly need.
Partnering with Soul Trail, a specialist therapeutic nature organisation and thanks to
funding from Sport England, we were able to deliver walks in nature to provide nurture and
love for parentl carers of children with special educational and mental health needs.
Being a parent is one thing, being a parent of a child with additional needs, is a whole
other pathway and it can be exhausing battling for the rights and provision your child
needs. These walks faciliated by two specially trained nature faciliators use the five nature
pathways to enable parentsl carers to connect with nature in new imaginative and
soothing ways, to share their stories with people who get them, and find some respite from
their busy lives.
OUTREACH I
CONTRACTED
SERVICES
Through our contracted services and
a part time Alternative Learning
Provision, we provide specialist
education and wellbeing packages for
children and young people with
education, health and core plans who
are affected by social, emotional and
mental health as well as other special
educational needs and disabilities
(SEND). We do this by taking referrals
and working closely with a number of
local authorities across the South
West and in London, social services,
the NHS and other statutory bodies..
We understand that progress is not
always easy or linear, and that
sometimes small changes can be
huge. Just coming downstairs for
some of our young people is a huge
milestone. Whilst our goal is always
to support each of our children back
into mainstream education or
community settings, we understand
that for these transitions to be
effective they need to be child-
centred, nuanced and sensitive to
their needs, and that we need to
support the young person and the
family through a journey that
supports both learning and their
wider mental health. Working with a
team of around 30 amazing
practitioners across the South West
London, and supported by our
dedicated case managers with their
extensive knowledge of SEND,
education and mental health in
education and NHS settings, our
intention is always that each child
and family feels heard and receives
care and education that is warm,
imaginative, thoughtful and
nurturing to their amazing unique9
selves.
The children who benefit from these
services are some of society's most at
risk of isolation young people, as they
often too unwell or too anxious to go
to school, and they need particularly
personalised and holistic solutions to
meet their needs, and support to help
them thrive. With our particular
expertise in safeguarding and
understanding intersectional needs,
we are often able to help young
people in ways that otherwise might
be difficult to find, taking great care to
match young people to the right
practitioners who work with them l- I
at home, in school, or in their wider
communities, and working closely with
multi-disciplinary social care and
health teams. Each placement for a
child is carefully case managed so
that the child and the family feel held,
listened to and nurtured.
JTr
Our work with our
is a cornerstone of our holistic and long term approach to
supporting children with mental health needs. Through regular communication, where we off er
the family support, try to empower parents and carers with the tools they need to support their
children and a place to them to be heard, not just as parents or carers but as individual people
with needs of their own. By giving them resources, practical strategies, and emotional support,
we help alleviate the stress and isolation that families often feel when navigating complex
mental health and special educational needs. We offer acceptance and understanding to allow
them to feel that our support is also for the entire family as it is for the young person we are
offering our direct support.
To build awareness of our support over this particular year, some of the team visited a range of
parentlcarer groups to talk about the services we provide, off er advice support and guidance
and a listening presence to people who often feel overwhelmed by the hurdles they can face
trying to arrange the support that they need for their children and young people.
We frequently work with schools and again take time to think'what more could we do? offering
strategies, advice, or recommendations for tactics and interventions and provision supporting
SENDCO'S and designated safeguarding leads where needed but also helping grow a mental
health culture based on partership work and best practice inter-agency and collaborative
working.
10
We are passionate about good
to ensure that all the professionals
remain aligned in their efforts to support children and young people and information doesn't
get missed. Through being proactive around multi-agency meetings and shared action plans,
we help facilitate clear communication and coordinated responses that prioritise the child's
voice.
is a huge part of the charity's day to day work, and a lot of our impact is
delivered through inter-agency working which helps keep our children safe. Attending child
protection conferences, Child In Need Meetings, and Team Around the Family meetings as well
as wider professionals meetings such as Education, Health and Care Plan Reviews to ensure
the child's and family's voice are heard as well as sharing our professional recommendations
are huge areas of impact for our children and families. A challenge for next year is how do we
better measure this impact and demonstrate the outcomes of this safeguarding and multi-
agency work which is so vital and often pain-staking, delicate, time critical and involves
thoughtful, often then demanding long term follow up.

In addition, this year was a busy one in terms of
work promoting and engaging
awareness with children's mental health needs especially where those intersect with
neurodivergence and special educational needs. We were once again the off icial charity
partners of the International Balloon Fiesta in Bristol, and volunteers and staff once again ran
a range of activities to engage children and families in a range of creative arts and sensory
activities to support with preventative mental health tactics and raise awareness of more
significant mental health needs that many of our children have. Volunteers and staff engaged
children, young people and families as well as the wider community in discussions,
engagement activities and encouraged their voices. Similarly, the team attended Pride
promoting and engaging around children's mental health and neurodivergence.
By empowering families, supporting educators, and strengthening professional networks, we,
alongside other amazing organisations, contribute to the development of more loving, resilient
communities. Each indirect beneficiary plays a crucial role in the ecosystem of love and care,
and their enhanced capacity to support young people's mental health creates a sustainable
foundation for long-term wellbeing. Our ongoing commitment to supporting indirect
beneficiaries reflects our belief that collective effort leads to transformative change. By investing
in the broader network of care, we ensure that every young person's journey toward improved
mental health, reduced social isolation and increased ability to thrive in education is supported
by a strong, informed, and compassionate community
This is something which we are keen to develop further in future impact work as we work
towards changing the national landscape of mental health with our radical kindness campaign.

This picture shows one of our children's counsellors taking some of our children
on a therapeutic holiday session to paint their own pottery, experiencing the
feel of the clay and the use of colour and how art can be restful - a tranquil
mental space - as well as fun. In the picture, you can see the backs of primary
school aged children's heads as they paint quietly as our counsellor moves
around the room interacting with them.
Our children tell us how important it
is for their mental health to get
outside and socialise so we are
incredibly grateful towards all the
organisations including Alive, The
Garden CIC, and Soultrail, who have
worked in partnership with us to
enable us to offer this to so many of
our children and families. This

"I feel like some of the darkness has turned to light..
'When I was14 ...1 was hit by a car and got brain damage. I then started getting really
angry and I was scared to go to school. I tried to go to college but it made me too
anxious. I feel anxious a lot. I stopped going out and stopped talking to everyone. l just
stayed at home."
"I didn't want to meet M [my Love Squared practitioner] because a lot of people aren't
nice when they come to see me or they look at me like I'm stupid. I like going out with M
because it means people look at me less and I can actually do things that I haven't
done before. We've been to so many new places. It's been a bit hard learning about
money but now I have a bank account and I don't spend it all on Roblox [an online
gamel. I don't like paying for things at the shop because I don't want to talk to people
at the counter but M does help me with that."
"I go out with M every day and I think going out is the best. I like going to places I've
never been. My favourite place is going to play mini golf. I don't like talking to people
when l am on my own but I feel a bit more comfortable with that."

being able to cry. He couldn't show emotion, and I could see his face just turning really red
when he was unhappy. Because he couldn't show how he was feeling, he was feeling a lot
of stress, which made him show behaviours that made me call the police. He used to
attack us at home and throw things. He broke chairs and a window. He didn't show any
sympathy or remorse, which is why I had to call the police..
"We've had a lot of [supportl workers come to our house but many of them J hasn't wanted
to speak to.... I had to call the Samaritans for myself because I didn't know what to do and I
needed help."
"He tried to go to college but was so isolated and wouldn't eat.... He stopped going to
school and just stayed at home all day and would talk to no one."
"J never asks for help but I know he needs it. M has made it easier for him to go out with
confidence and that helps me too. He is more motivated and it makes me more
motivated."
"He now sees M twice a week and they go out to new places, he doesn't wear a hat
anymore to hide and has learnt about consequences. He seems happy."
"Thank you for always calling me to talk and coming to help us. No one listened to us
before I spoke to you.... You are the first people who have listened when I was desperate
because I didn't know what to do."
What, if anything, feels diff erent for you now? (asked by the interviewer)
"Wow- the sun is shining so bright. I feel like there is o rainbow in my life every day.... It's like
an egg has been opened up and all the good is coming out.... J has direction in life now, he
is so much more motivated, he is able speak to family again.... Life feels like it is on the right
track."

' I feel like energy is released with activities
"IBefore I started Love Squaredl everything was boring. I was stuck inside and only went
out to go to the shops. It was just so boring with nothing fun to do. I couldn't even relax....
In the old house l used to be able to run around without worrying about cars and traffic,
but I can't do that alone now."
Tell me about a time you had to do something that was really hard or a bit scary for
you, and what helped you feel less scared?
"Something quite scary recently was going swimming with A [my Love Squared
practitioner] because I hadn't been swimming for ages. I was brave and A taught me
how to do the back stroke. Another scary thing was going to the water park with Y [my
other practitioner]. There was a big scary slide, but I managed to go down it"
"A and Y make me feel less scared because they are nice people.... [Theyl listen and let
me stop and play when I need to.... A is really good at noticing if l am getting stressed
and he helps me get less angry.... It's good to go out with Y and A. I feel much happier.-
"I feel like energy is released with activities. Before I could never sleep because I had too
much energy. Now I sleep much better. Because I sleep more, I can help more at home
with mum."

"I was just angry and I hated school and I didn't learn anything
and hated myself. Now, It's so much better.-
"Being in school and class was always hard. l just'powered down, and used to run away
when I got overwhelmed. I got angry at school one time recently because I was sent to
isolation for literally no reason. I wanted to run away, which I did and then everyone else got
angry. I got in a lot of trouble."
"It was scary to meet F and s Imy Love Squared practitionersl because I was worried that
they would judge me like school did. F has given IOO/o support every time I get overwhelmed
or start getting angry."
"During the sessions I tell F and S that I need a break and they listen.
It's nice that they can change topics and we can focus on something else, like playing
games. F is IOO/. great at spotting signs of when l am struggling.
Once we didn't speak for two hours of a session because she knew I needed space but that
was ok and she didn't get angry. She is good at finding things to distract me with. She
taught me how to play Cambio and we play that when we talk about 'bad things I never
knew games could teach you maths. I've learnt so much about numbers, coordinates
especially. With S, I've also managed to do three full maths tests, which I've never managed
before. I never knew I could be so good at Maths and English."
'At home, I go on my bike or I do some gardening. I want to teach myself to be a
landscaper. I'm actually getting really good at cooking too and I like food."
"I was just angry and I hated school and I didn't learn anything and hated myself.
Now, It's so much better. l only go to school on some days and because they know I'm doing
things on the other days, they are less angry at me. I'm actually really proud of myself for all
the things I've done with F and S. I didn't know I could do a whole exam. It's good when
teachers listen and are helpful. They say I can have a break when I need to but they also
push me. I've achieved lots and there is more routine in my days."

P8rsonal details removed.
Case study- D
Hospitals can be scary places
The noises, the smells, the worried looks on people's faces and the pain that you can see and
hear that people are experiencing. A trip to the hospital can also mean someone is going
through, or is about to go through, a traumatic event - changing their way of life forever as it
overwhelms their capacity to cope with the emotional distress it causes.
D had experienced traumatic events at hospital. This meant anything that reminded him of
hospitals triggered her, making her relive the trauma. Being triggered would send her right
back to that time in the hospital and the emotions would be as real and as raw as the first
time. Her heart would race, she would feel hot, sweaty and sick, and be unable to breathe. Even
though the doctors would tell D that it was a trauma response or a panic attacl and that she
would get through them, to D it would feel like she was suffocating and dying every time.
What was almost as bad as reliving the traumatic experiences was the anticipation of having
another episode and not knowing what would trigger her. D would worry and stress about it
happening again and this led to her withdrawing from life.
She stopped socialising with friends, trying new things, and hid herself away from the world. D's
parents spoke with her school about what they could do to help and the school nurse offered D
a series of weekly sessions to help develop coping strategies and relaxation techniques.
However, with limited resources, these sessions were coming to an end. That's when D was
referred to Love Squared's creative therapeutic online groups.
These groups are run by one of our highly skilled mental health practitioners and are designed
for children who are feeling anxious or isolated and need a more supportive environment than
traditional youth groups can provide.
Initially, even this supportive environment felt too much for D, who stayed silent in the group for
the first few weeks, only briefly responding to direct questions from the practitioner. D later said
that she was silent because she was worried about being triggered by the high levels of
background noise and chatting. She felt this group was making her withdraw further.
One of the things that makes Love Squared unique is that we try to work long-term with our
children and young people, and with D this was no different. We gave D the time and support
she needed to build her confidence in this new environment. Over the weeks she was able to
relax and became more confident in sharing her thoughts and feelings, opening up about the
constant worry of being triggered. She was able to participate in the design of the sessions
and gained confidence from everyone joining in on an activity that she had suggested.
23
Case study- D- Continued
She learnt techniques to improve her social skills and was even able to teach this to her family.
The small group felt increasingly safe and a place for her to be herself.
D says that her time in the group has built her confidence up. She now looks forward to the
sessions. It has even helped her realise what she likes about school and what things she finds
challenging.
For D, this is a huge step forward,this sense of psychological safety and nurture is so important
for change to take place - sometimes in these small, but significant steps.
Here D is no longer hiding away from the world, and it seems that bit less frightening.

'The people that work at Love Squared - they are kind and they get it..
Do more of what you are doing. You're an amazing charity.
"Just want to say a big thank you from my son for all the support you have given him. His
confidence has grown so much in the short time you hava been supporting him."
"Having lots of fun and meeting new people. I felt really alone and now I feel like I have loads of
people I can see and talk to.
"The best thing is probably the persistence to not be given up on.
"Thank you for all your support. I haven't seen E this happy in a long timel.
"After never having found a place in education, now after only two years I have done GCSES
and am looking forward to the future.
25
"It has been great and having it weekly is so good as it's something to look forward
to and a place where any worries can be chatted over."
"My son hasn't been able to leave his room for nearly two years, but a year into his
support with Love Squared he has started telling me that he would like to go out
more. You have given me many ideas for how to help him, but most importantly
you have given me hope and motivation when things have been hard for the
family.
"I found people who actually care about my feelings, allowed me to speak about
what I wanted to speak about instead of forcing a subject, offered support and
actually checked if they needed to follow anything up.
"We have felt supported throughout the whole process, from the first phone call
with the case manager to the weekly sessions and check-ins with our
(practitioner). Thank you..

The support Fairlawn has rec8iv8d this y8arfrom Love Squargd, and Lindy, has bgen
wonderful beyond words.
As Mental Health & Wellbeing lead, I have found the process of referrals to Love Squared, and
the communication with Lindy, easy, quick and enjoyoble! It has begn like hoving a friend join
us every week. I have been touched by Lindy's kindness, generosity and care for the children
at our school. My class, Year 6, have also benefited so much for the support Love Squared,
and Lindy, have been able to offer. The workshops were invaluable, as has been the one-to-
one work. The children often ask whether they will be able to squeeze in any more sessions
and their joy when they see Lindy around school is inescapable.
Thank you so much for all of your hard work, in school and behind the scenes. It is very much
appreciated.

THANK YOU!
We want to take the opportunity to thank our incredible team for all their
amazing hard work and achievements in supporting this impact for our
children and young people.
A huge thank you in particular to our brilliant practitioners and our
volunteers who give up their time to support us- we would not be able to
provide these children's services without you. The trauma-informed way
that the team works and their commitment to our values of love,
imagination, nurture and brave are traceable into the impact we see for
our children and young people and their families.
A sincere thank you also to our community partners who have worked
with us on our creative workshops for children: Co-Exist (cookery), Alive
(intergenerational gardening), Windmill City Farm, Sail with Santa (ferry
tour), Soul Train Wellbeing (wellbeing walks), The Kiln Workshop (pottery),
and The Island (graffiti).
We especially want to take time to thank our sponsors, funders and
investors who have believed in our work and supported our children: the
Charities Aid Foundation Arley Youth Programme who have helped us so
much, the Bristol Balloon Fiesta, Sport England, and our generous donors,
large and small.
And the biggest thank you of all to our children and young people and
their families for trusting us to let us try and help and be part of your lives.
For many of you, this has taken real courage to be willing to share. It is no
small act, and we hope that as we go forward you will continue to let
your imaginations, passion for social change, knowledge and ideas
shape and continue to improve and grow our services with you.
