Activities recorded come to an end as of December 2023 as at this point it was decided that the CIC would be dormant whilst we reviewed direction and appointed new Directors Between 1.3.23 and 30.4.24 (31.12.23) – 40 Tree Babies and Tots sessions were held. 5 of these were grant funded and held in a local woodland, the remaining 35 were held in the grounds of a local museum. The museum contributed to the cost of running these sessions and from April 23 – September 23 this funding was topped up with grant funding to enable us to offer longer sessions. This was in response to ongoing request from families. These sessions provided nature-based sessions supporting parental mental health through the facilitation of mindfulness-based activities. The focus of this work is the mental health and wellbeing of parents and the impact on the attachment between parents and their babies/small children. The groups have consistently had an ‘average’ attendance of 6 families which works well. Feedback from families is very positive and they repeatedly return to the group reporting it is a safe space where they feel seen and heard. In addition to the regular (term time) groups we also held 3 family sessions within the school holidays which enabled families to bring their older children along with them and enjoy the space. For Maternal Mental Health week 2023 we held picnics in both venues which were enjoyed by families. Food was provided and a longer session held, encouraging families to connect, share and support one another. Work with schools during this time has provided weekly sessions into 1 primary school (12 sessions in total). These sessions were bespoke, written to meet the needs of the identified children. They aimed to support them in developing emotional literacy, understanding emotions and managing big feelings. The children all engaged well, and positive feedback was received from both the staff in school and the students who looked forward to their sessions each week. Some of these children then also attended some sessions held in the community during the summer holidays. (2 workshops – Ready to Relax at the start of the holidays and Ready to return to school at the end of the holidays) In addition to these, weekly groups and 1-1 sessions have been held within a secondary alternative provision. 4 bespoke groups have been provided alongside 8 1-1 therapeutic sessions. This has complimented a therapeutic curriculum which these children access. Feedback from staff and young people has been extremely positive with ongoing provision into academic year 23/24 increasing. Other events attended have included a stand at a local family hubs event and at a social emotional mental health conference held at a local university. This was at the request of a local academy trust. This allowed us to reach out to many social care and education professionals and talk about the important work we undertake to support the mental health and wellbeing of families. Our Parent group (Tree babies and tots) – has been visited by a number of local professionals who have been keen to learn more about the work that we do. We have also established links with the local community orchard, the maternity voices partnership and a local university. Support has been provided to a local charity over 12 weeks – helping them identify how they can best support their client group in accessing mental health support. This was provided through weekly attendance at a local group which they run, 1-1 support provided to staff and clients and a final summary written and provided to the organisation. It was decided in October 2023 that we would pause work undertaken by the CIC whilst we reviewed direction and looked to appoint new Directors. In December 2024 a new Director was appointed and work is now beginning to look at redefining the focus of the CIC and the work that we provide.
Families – Ongoing consultation is undertaken with families in relation to our Tree Babies and Tots work. It was at their request that we were able to lengthen the sessions being held at the museum. We did this by moving funding from a session that had much lower numbers. The activities and provisions provided for families (refreshments, fruit, nature materials) are constantly reviewed taking into account dietary requirements in an attempt to be able to offer to all. We have looked at other venues however, none meet the specifications that parents are saying they benefit from within the museum grounds (e.g. spacious, contained, outdoors) so have continued to run at this facility although the additional funding did come to an end and hence the sessions had to return to just 1 hour a week. Schools – Sessions have been provided to meet the needs of specifically identified children who would benefit from additional specialist input. Discussions around these children has taken place with staff teams and plans have been made in accordance with the issues discussed. We have adapted to fit the sessions within the school timetable, in order to provide as little disruption as possible to the school day. This has sometime proved difficult and has seen us working at the provisions for longer than agreed. The Primary school we have worked with ended academic year 22/23 (July 23) – and were unable to access further funding despite them wanting us to return and parents requesting this. The Senior alternative provision asked for more sessions to be provided and input increased from 1 full day to 2 providing a range of intervention again tailored to meet the needs of the specific young people. We had worked and adapted to meet the needs of the school, this has been during building work when often space in the provision has been limited. Feedback from staff has been exceptional in relation to the support they feel as a team and the work and impact they see through work with the young people Charities – A number of charities and professionals have attended Tree Babies and Tots and have been keen to learn about our approach. We have also worked with the Maternity Voices Partnership locally to support them in collecting feedback about local maternity services. York University – York University have been keen to learn about our work and after a number online discussions have been able to visit and observe the work which takes place at Tree Babies and Tots. Museums – Ongoing consultations with Museums who fund much of our Tree Babies and Tots work. Funding is reducing and their priorities are changing hence ongoing dialogue has been needed in order that we can continue to meet the needs of families within their space. We have reduced the number of sessions and the length of time that they are run. Young people – Ongoing consultation with Young People regarding the support we provide. Many of them would like this to be more but sadly we have been limited due to funding. Young people would like more community-based groups (as would parents) but these have not been financially viable to maintain. We have however reached out to local community groups and have provided free sessions to Brownie groups, Rainbows groups and The Girls Brigade.
