Parents
The purpose of the group is for boys aged 11-14 to meet others the same age with visible differences, have fun together and form new friendships. It will be a safe and supportive environment where they can try new things, develop confidence, talk about their diffferences if they want to and develop self esteem.
They will be working with Changing Faces staff to do activities such as drumming, film making, craft/art work and designing t-shirts to explore their imagination, discover new possibilities and enter an exciting world of fun and discovery. The encouragement of imagination enables the young people to embrace many different ways of being in the world.
We hope to run this group three or four times a year so friendships can develop as the young people get to know each other better and relationships with Changing Faces staff can also develop.
Please contact or telephone 0845 4500 275 for a booking form.
