About this Event
🐾 Willow’s Path – The Next Part of My Path
Join Future Journeys CIC for a free, relaxed, SEND-friendly Creative Confidence event, open to all ages.
Young people aged 14–19 are especially welcome, along with their families and carers. There will be a choice of creative activities to suit different ages, interests and abilities.
Inspired by Willow, a character from Pebble Wood and Little Barnaby Farm, we’ll explore trying something new, following our curiosity and taking small steps forward through creativity and time together.
Choose from a range of activities, including:
• Making your own mini Willow dog using pipe cleaners• Creating beaded bracelets and keepsakes• An optional mindful cloud-spotting walk, weather permitting• Sketching the clouds you discover• “Four Paws Towards My Future” – space to draw or write about things you’d like to try or look forward to• Quiet drawing and creative journalling
There’s no experience needed and no pressure to complete every activity. Join in at your own pace, take breaks and enjoy spending time together in a welcoming environment.
People with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) are welcome. Please let us know about any access needs so we can discuss these with you.
Supervision and support
Under-18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult who stays throughout the session. Anyone who needs individual support must attend with a parent, carer or support worker who can provide this.
We’ll offer guidance with the creative activities, but we cannot provide one-to-one supervision, personal care or individual support. Accompanying adults remain responsible for those they are supporting throughout the event, including during the optional walk.
