It makes me feel sweaty thinking about it now, during one of the hottest days this year we trained a new cohort of Canal & River Trust In the Wild Leaders; to deliver our three Week School Waterside Programme and one off family wellebng session. The volunteer team give up so much of their FREE […]
A massive highlight last month was our ongoing collaboration with the Canal & River Trust at Tees Barrage. The day was a brilliant success, bringing together everyone from toddlers in prams and Grandmas—to teens too who, got stuck right into the mud painting! Session 2: We were joined by Helen one of the Canal River […]
It’s been another busy and heart-filling month at Happy Confident Kids, everyday we are so grateful we get to do this. From on boarding new Kids Confidence Coaches to seeing even more of the real-world impact of our tools across the UK, we are more committed than ever to bringing “the light” to children’s (and […]
We’ve been running some incredible Exam Support Workshops in secondary schools recently, and the feedback from the students has been amazing. Supporting 200 year ten learners. Train Like a Champion – If it’s good enough for the greats, it’s good enough for GCSEs and A-Levels! Cristiano Ronaldo, Chloe Kelly, Jonny Wilkinson… these legends don’t just […]
We ran (a very wet) Family Wellbeing session in partnership with the Canal & River Trust, and what a joy it was—even in the rain! A huge thank you to all the families who braved the weather to join us at Westport Lake in Stoke-on-Trent. Running these sessions always brings us so many glimmers (tiny […]
A few weeks ago Miranda and I travelled to the bustling town of Walsall in the Black Country. It’s a vibrant, busy urban landscape where opportunities to truly “get into nature” can feel few and far between.

A total of 16 learners participated (14 from Year 8/9 and 2 from Year 7), with sessions thoughtfully divided by the school into separate groups for boys and girls. Many learners […]
“Attending the glimmer seekers training was great – led by Laura online. It began right at the beginning with speaking about being in nature, listening to our bodies & triggers, before moving on to using ‘glimmers’ as a tool for improving our mood and perspective on different situations. It was great to be supported by Laura and the other attendees who all offered words of encouragement or comfort when needed. Hard-hitting, inspirational and self-developing!”
Glimmers are the tiny moments of joy, warmth, or connection that are easy to miss — but when you start noticing them, everything changes.
Since I started noticing Glimmers, my whole perspective has shifted. It's a game changer!
Nice to feel valued and supported as an individual. We often miss out our own care in the struggle to set up all the many school and group sessions that we run throughout the year.
