Clear Sky Children's Charity
People: Improving people’s mental wellbeing
We aim to provide play and creative arts therapy to children in Oxfordshire who have experienced trauma. We provide child-led, play-based sessions which allow the child to work through their problems.
About this cause
Clear Sky provides relief from mental health difficulties for children by providing therapeutic services to children aged 3–18 and offers support and education for families and professionals working with children. Clear Sky is dedicated to providing children with age-appropriate and creative support at the time when they are still learning about life through their experiences, and working out how to become the best version of themselves. We believe in the Power of Play to transform young lives. Clear Sky works with schools across Oxfordshire and surrounding counties supporting children with Play and Creative Arts Therapy. We provide training for professionals and we support school staff with training.

How this cause brings people in the community together
Our project will provide ongoing support to children and their families across Oxfordshire and further afield. We have been providing play and creative arts therapeutic services to primary-aged children since 2009 and deliver around 2,000 one-to-one play-based sessions each year through schools. All of our sessions are delivered by an experienced play and creative arts therapist and 95% of the children we see experience a positive outcome. All of our therapeutic sessions are child-led, allowing the child to work through their problems and go on to lead a happy and fulfilled life. Support from Co-op members will allow us to meet the ever-growing demand from families for help for children with emotional and behavioural problems and those who have experienced a childhood trauma.
