Thank you to Adri and Andy for the #TakeOverDay. To support children's #mentalhealth over the summer, our team recommends walks & play time outside. A local park, forest or beach can offer children sensory & emotional regulation, shared play experiences as well as healthy breaks from screens.

A big thank you to Dymond House for having us and to @tnlcommunityfund.org.uk @nationallottery.bsky.social for continuing to champion our work. That's a wrap on today's takeover! 🎉 Thank you for following along and sharing in our day. We hope you've enjoyed it. Until next time! 💚
