Collaborations and Connections

Mulberry Bush Nursery Group are a group of five family run and owned children’s nurseries based in Bury, Lancashire. Founded in 1990, they are the longest established nursery group in the North West. I am honoured to work alongside them, helping to create and develop their Pre-School Mindfulness Programme, as well as sitting on their Advisory Board.

The Barriers To Education Project, is led by the team at Spectrum Gaming, the North West EBSA Interest Group, parents, young people and national professionals such as Beth Bodycote (Not Fine in School), Eliza Fricker (Missing the Mark), Ellie Costello (Square Peg), Dr Naomi Fisher, Clinical Psychologist, Dr Ruth Moyse, AT Autism, Professor Caroline Bond, University of Manchester, and Dr Jerricah Holder, Educational Psychologist.

This is a project I am incredibly passionate about and proud to be a part of. We are creating a new model for supporting young people who struggle with school attendance so all children can access education, as is their right, and gain the best possible life chances.

There is a wealth of information about the project, as well as resources and webinars to watch on the padlet.
