Toucan for Children supports children and young people who are experiencing emotional difficulties in their lives. Providing therapeutic services through play and creative arts. Based in Gloucestershire we offer play therapy at our centre in Mitcheldean and outreach work in schools.

Story

Hello all :) As many of you know, I've recently completed my training as a play therapist. I am now working for the charity Toucan for Children who offer play therapy to children with a wide range of difficulties in the Forest of Dean and surrounding areas. Play therapy can help children make sense of difficult life experiences and situations in a way that is natural to them - through play. Toucan do an amazing job of supporting the children and families they work with and the money we raise will help families with lower income access the service. 

I have been privileged enough to witness the enormous journeys children can embark on through the therapeutic process and for that reason we wanted to reflect this by taking on the challenge of our own long journey- a 177 mile trail that will take us from South to North Wales which we have 11 days to complete. We're planning on camping and some b n b accommodation along the way, completing the trail in one go apart from the first 17.5miles which we will walk separately to test our kit and resolve!

Any contributions are so welcome and please get in touch personally if you want to know anything more about the work Toucan do or play therapy in general, 

Thank you, Ben and Fran x
