A heartfelt thank you to @Yorkshire_BS for the incredibly generous donation. Your support is so appreciated! This will make a significant difference and go directly towards helping families who are facing some really tough challenges. Thank you💛

Flourishing Families is on the BBC! Ahead of the 5 year anniversary of a pandemic that changed lives for so many, particularly those experiencing deprivation and social isolation, BBC Look North reports on the vital work we do with families still affected. buff.ly/Mrw6qCS
Great article out this morning on the BBC highlighting our work with families still experiencing the devastating impacts of Covid. Main news piece will be out later today on BBC Look North. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
This week, National Children’s Laureate, @frankcottrell_b, hosted the “Right to Read" summit where he recommended urgent course of action to policymakers that will help ensure that the 'life-changing benefits of children's reading are taken seriously’. #righttoread #sharedreading
This afternoon we were thrilled to be visited by @rachelreevesmp, Chancellor of the Exchequer and our local MP. It was wonderful to be able to chat about all that we do to support families, and to show a Family Cookery Club in action.
Our Feeding Families This Winter appeal launched today! Click here to donate: buff.ly/3UPC1pn, because every family deserves to flourish.
Our volunteers are an essential part of what we do; we couldn't run our groups without them! Katie helps out with one of our wellbeing groups where she supports children through crafts and activities designed to help develop emotional regulation and literacy.
We were honoured to be joined by @LordLtWY @eziff_OBE_DL John Tarrant DL and @LordMayorLeeds at our @KingsAwardVS award ceremony this week. It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate with our staff, volunteers and many supporters.
@kaneezkhan31 Thank you very much for your kind words
@LordLtWY @KingsAwardVS @LordMayorLeeds Thank you very much, we are thrilled to receive this award and it was such an honour to receive it from you.
This week is Mental Health Awareness Week. Did you know that physical activity is great for your mental health? One of the ways we love to do that is through Builder Buddies! Whatever we’re building, we love to get active through lots of fun challenges #mentalhealthawarenessweek
We have loved making a variety of recipes with our families at cookery clubs this term! Favourites have been our homemade pizza, spinach, sweetcorn and chicken pasta bake, spaghetti Bolognese and rainbow fruit skewers. Well done to our amazing chefs!
The Flourishing Families staff team is growing, and we're really excited to introduce to you our two newest team members! Emma has joined as our Operations Manager and Bekah is working with family literacy. Here's a snapshot of them in action!
Happy World Book Day! Time to get our imagination hats on and dive into the world of stories. Some of our team and brilliant families are dressed up as pirates today from one of our favourite books, ‘The Troll.’ What’s your fancy dress costume today? #worldbookday
It’s National Storytelling Week! So, gather around, create a cosy space and grab your favourite book! Do you have a favourite story book? Let’s take a look at our Story Tellers groups in action this week and how our families love to take part in the joy of reading together…
Today is International Lego Day! We love using Lego therapy in our activity-based mentoring groups. Why? Because it builds on key skills such as creativity, teamwork, communication and resilience, and of course it’s really good fun! #internationallegoday
We're starting 2024 with a flourish of activity! Our groups are growing and thriving and we can't wait to see many more families experience the fun we have with cookery, craft activities and sharing stories.
Last night, our team appeared on @BBCLookNorth in a feature on why our Family Cookery Clubs & holiday hampers are needed now more than ever. Our full interview can be seen at 1:13 at ⬇️ bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…
Over the last 18 months, we have seen the number of families living in severe food poverty treble. Our CEO, Kate Colbrook, spoke to @SabbiyahPervez about how our Family Cookery Clubs & holiday hampers have helped people experiencing food poverty in Leeds. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
