We are thrilled to be working with Dandelion Time as our chosen charity for 2024. We always look to support local charities and we were in awe of the amazing work Dandelion Time does for the children and their families.
Our mission at Ruxley is to bring family and friends together through the enjoyment of their gardens and homes and the Summer Gardens campaign is a wonderful way of doing this, whilst raising money for this fantastic charity. We are proud to be partnering with Dandelion Time on this exciting campaign.
Dandelion Time is a Registered Charity Number 1136613
Dandelion Time offers help to children with very challenging emotional issues, often
resulting from trauma, violence or serious health difficulties in the family.
Our approach is family-based and creates opportunities for new beginnings and improved
relationships. The service recognises the importance of being in a peaceful natural environment, absorbing children in calming hands-on activities.
Therapists guide families to harness the healing powers of the natural world using materials such as wood, wool and clay, to care for animals and to grow and eat healthy food thus laying down new positive memories.
This helps them to discuss and explore the difficulties they are facing and enables the wider family to come together to build stronger bonds. Children grow in confidence and resilience and have achieved remarkable and long-lasting changes in their lives as a result of coming to Dandelion Time.
