Elephants are known for their size, but tonight a small but mighty quartet of GoodGymmers were helping in the shadows of Twickenham stadium at at the Purple Elephant Project, charity that helps support with children’s mental health
Jane from the Purple Elephant Project a few jobs that needed doing outside in the garden area. The dark and cold January night didn’t put Harvey, Liz and Nina off piling and bagging up leaves that had fallen down and were carpeting the ground. As they say, rake it til ya make it!
Lucy had a hole different job, which was securing the fabric privacy screens along the edge of the fencing. The winter weather had caused it to come loose, and it was flapping around in the wind. Cable ties at the ready, the sheets were secured in the no time. And eyelet you in on a secret - a grommet press was used to help make holes to attach the zip ties to!
Jobs completed, Jane thanked up for our help on a chilly evening, and we made like a tree to leave.
Every week we support over 100 children and their families with therapeutic interventions such as Play therapy and Art Therapy. We provide support for children and their families affected by attachment, developmental trauma or life experiences. Through specialist therapeutic services, we work to transform lives; enabling children to reach their full potential and a brighter future.
