💥Smash Life💥 A wonderful Wet Day of connection at our Woodland HQ. From den building to projects ensuring our Smash Life Woodland continues to thrive and Children feel a sense of ownership. A great day well done Kids and awesome to work with Telford virtual school again 👌

💥Smash Life💥 We recently connected with the team at Blue Elephant Childcare Our recent conversations have been full of passion, purpose, and shared values. It’s clear that both of our organisations care deeply about making a lasting, positive impact in the lives of children.

💥Smash Life💥 We love to see children we support “Achieve and Grow” It may be just building a bench to some but the skills & confidence gained from this activity as well as the knowledge & confidence will enable the children involved to believe in themselves that bit more 💙

💥Smash Life💥 Thanks so much Shropshire Council virtual school for the invite to attend your service development day and deliver a keynote yesterday Reminding EVERYONE the journeys our children face, the importance of connection, being braver and leading from the heart 💙❤️

Thank you so much Andy SmashLifeUK it meant a lot to be bringing together our new service to hear those key messages, remember the WHY and reflect on how we must always ask ourselves would it be good enough for our own child, whatever their situation.
