The football pitch of life is complicated. Try aiming for a goal when you feel like a clumsy elephant. Try reading a 2 page essay when the first 3 words dance before you in a dainty ensemble. Try listening to the teachers’ explanation when the honking outside makes you tremble.
Try breaking through the cocoon when your wings are too fragile.
Our children need extra support, guidance and care to help them reach their potential . To help them manage mundane, everyday tasks and attain success in school and social life. Blooming Blossoms Trust strives to create a nurturing environment that celebrates individuality and unlocks the full potential of every participant.
We prioritize marginalized young people who may face additional challenges due to learning disabilities and societal barriers. By providing them with a platform to participate actively and contribute meaningfully, we aim to uplift their voices and empower them to overcome obstacles. Through nature-based activities and hands-on experiences, we help instil a sense of belonging, purpose, and agency in their lives.
Some children, for no clear reason, feel like elephants in their classrooms. They struggle academically, feel socially isolated, and are misunderstood at home. They twist and squeeze themselves to fit the box, but often fail. In this process, they are hurting and desperate to be understood and valued for who they are. Many slip through the cracks of support systems; they do not need special schools or juvenile delinquency programs and often don’t meet NHS criteria for therapy or EHCP statements. This is a child on the playing field: while everyone else runs forward, they are captivated by a ladybird creeping from the earth. We are the cheerleaders. Gently, watching over those delicate wings we guide each young person to their success story. We celebrate each milestone, however simple it may seem like buttoning a shirt right, being able to walk on autumn leaves or writing a correct sentence.
We started way back. Our story begins when the Trustees were children themselves, in an era bygone, when support was nonexistence. Anything out of the norm was a skeleton hidden in the closet and thus our Trustees suffered. Immensely. Fast-forward many years, our Trustees are now successful adults, but remain kids-at-heart. They opened Blooming Blossoms Trust to support vulnerable caterpillars, ensuring that the youth today do not experience the difficulties they faced. We offer after school and holidays program uniquely geared to different kids. We serve 180 children on a weekly basis and 40% during seasonal periods. 89% of these children's families are reliant on Universal Credits and some have no recourse to public funds. Children come from the London boroughs of Haringey and surrounding areas.
Together we Soar Beyond Potential.
One pretty butterfly at a time.
