Nine siblings rustled up some tasty treats before learning yoga moves during a special sibling day at The Nook.
The event was for children who are either bereaved or have a brother or sister receiving care at East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices’ (EACH) base near Norwich.
The children decorated cookies with help and support from Hannah Smith, of Cook Stars Norwich North.
After sandwiches for lunch and having the opportunity to let off steam on the hospice playground, they then took part in a yoga session led by Holly Boardman and Jo Bartelsmeier, of Jellyfish Yoga, a company that provides inclusive yoga, movement and therapeutic wellbeing activities for children, young people and families across Norwich and Norfolk.
“The day was all about fun, friendship and giving siblings the opportunity to spend time together in a supportive environment,” said Claire Stuart, The Nook’s new Child and Young Person’s Counsellor.
“There were lots of games, activities and opportunities for the children to interact, and it was lovely to see them chatting, laughing and growing in confidence as the day went on.
“Whether decorating cookies, playing on the playground or taking part in yoga, they embraced every activity with enthusiasm.
“Days like these help create lasting memories and remind siblings that they are not alone in their experiences.”
