We’ve been busy taking part in Children’s Mental Health Week 2023 with the theme of ‘Let’s Connect’ encouraging people to make healthy, rewarding and meaningful connections. At Kibble, building genuine relationships is at the heart of everything we do. We were excited to get involved and support children’s mental health as we understand the significant impact meaningful connections can have on our overall health and wellbeing.
Our plans included visits from friendly dogs, dance workshops, aroma therapy blending. We also hosted our own dinner party. All experiences brought us together to laugh, chat and bond. Involving ourselves in fun activities, creates shared memories and helps us to thrive.
