Mid-Winter Moments: February Highlights and Happenings

Mid-Winter Moments: February Highlights and Happenings

Comfort 

This past month has been filled with exciting developments for The Nest. Over the half-term break, The Barn has been fully insulated, making it even more comfortable and welcoming for all our activities. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to this improvement—it’s already making a big difference!

Cooking

Our culinary adventures have also been in full swing, with plenty of cake-making, delicious cheese scones, and even macaroni cheese cooked up for lunch. The Nest has been filled with the wonderful aromas of homecooked food, and it’s been a joy to see everyone getting involved in the kitchen.

Celebrating Resilience

This term, we’ve welcomed many new faces to The Nest, and it has been truly inspiring to witness the kindness and resilience within our community. Our young people have shown incredible warmth in welcoming newcomers, making them feel at home from day one. Likewise, the new starters have demonstrated remarkable bravery and perseverance, showing up, engaging fully, and embracing every opportunity. Their willingness to step out of their comfort zones has been a joy to see, and we are so proud of every single one of them!

Fundraising 

We would also like to take a moment to highlight the importance of grants and fundraising for our charity. These vital resources enable us to continue providing enriching activities and support for our young people. If anyone is interested in fundraising for us, we would absolutely love to hear from you! Every contribution makes a huge difference and helps us to sustain and grow our community initiatives.

Thank you!  We can’t wait to see what next month brings!
