We now have a large – and growing – pool of evidence to show that learning through play is the best way to support learning.

Huge thanks to our superhero supporter Keeva who recently cycled over the Tay Bridge to raise money for The Yard.

Keeva is a regular visitor at our Dundee site and was keen to do something to help us rebuild after the fire. And help she certainly did, raising a fantastic £985.

@MarkandDebz @DandACYP @dundee_angus The students loved it. We are looking forward to the next session.

Arbroath CYP Foundation Apprentices had a special visitor, Mia, in class this week to help them practice how to adapt their communication with younger children. We loved our singing, playing peekaboo, and listening to your stories Mia 🌸

🧵 Only 5% of children remain in the family home following their mother's imprisonment.

A parent's imprisonment is an Adverse Childhood Experience that can affect every aspect of life, especially when children find themselves physically uprooted on top of the emotional impact.
