Dartford’s B&M Store Opening
Kimberley was delighted to attend the opening of Dartford’s brand new B&M store on Saturday, after they very kindly chose us as their nominated charity.
Shoppers were queuing outside at 8am, eager to see what the megastore had to offer and they were not disappointed! From homeware to pet supplies, kids toys and its very own garden centre, B&M is your one stop shop for everything you could possibly need this Christmas.
Congratulations to the staff for all of their hard work in the lead up to the much anticipated opening.
We would also like to thank B&M for their very generous £250 charity donation to North Kent Mind.
‘Moving faces’ octopus creative project
Today we had great fun running sessions for children to help their emotional intelligence.
Using creative discussions, first they created a ‘moving faces’ octopus to identify emotions, what they feel like and what might bring these on.
They then moved on to create their angry/calm octopus; this helps children become more aware of triggers for angry/sad feelings and the strategies they can use to calm down.
Well done to all of those that attended! North Kent Mind are running sessions for children and young people each school holiday for FREE, keep an eye out for our next ones and come along.
