April 2023 to January 2024. We worked with graduates of Sheffield Hallam University’s Animation Department to create 10 animations that will form part of the Growing Me Toolkit, offering vital psycho-education in a fun and engaging format for care-experienced children and young people. This provided 5 graduate animators with their first real-life project, improving their employability in the creative sector. This is a sector that is quite difficult to get into. June 2023. Scripting and recording all narration for the online guide. Ellie, a trauma and attachment therapist, guides users of the Growing Me toolkit through every step of the journey. This brings high-quality therapeutic intervention to all those who need it, with one child psychologist telling us I love how interesting and engaging you have made it. You normalise how difficult and important this work can be throughout but that you made it feel manageable and safe Winter 2023. We had stalls at young people mental health events across Derbyshire Children and Young People’s Wellbeing event, Umbrella’s SEN Marketplace, and Amber Valley Networking Event, to build connections within the sector January 2024. We held an Animation Celebration event, attended by over 50 people to celebrate our 5 animators, and the wonderful animations they had created. This event also helped build understanding and compassion for the care-experienced community, who sadly are often mis-represented. One attendee told us What a fantastic project , you’ve helped me see behaviour in a different light. October 2023 to April 2024. We worked with Rusty Monkey to create the digital portal that users of the app will access. This has made a high quality therapeutic intervention accessible. Jan to June 2024. Liaising with printing companies took a lot more time and patience than we had planned, though we did eventually get the printing for our first 100 toolkits done using 100% recycled paper and card. February 2024. We held Making Days to sew superhero capes and calm bags that will form part of our toolkits. We also made card and paper based resources. Participants to Making Days reported that it’s lovely to feel useful in retirement and it’s been such a lovely day. And also that this is so therapeutic, to come and I have learnt so much about care-experienced children.
The Growing Me team have lived experience where the project was born out of our own experiences of the children’s care system. We have further engaged the care-experienced community through our social media posts, and have also attended events (Belper Children and Young People’s Wellbeing Day, and Umbrella SEN Marketplace at Moorways, for example, plus many more) We have met care-experienced families at events across Derbyshire and received wonderful feedback for Growing Me. Lots of feedback is centred around expanding our offer to help children who are not care-experienced, and this is something that we will explore in due course.
