Teapot Trust Resources for Groups, Families and Volunteers

Teapot Trust is a charity providing art therapy to support the mental health of children and young people with long-term conditions. As part of their efforts to move their art therapy services online during COVID-19, they have developed a suite of original resources on their website to keep children creatively occupied and calm at home and support mental wellbeing. These resources aim to not only be helpful to organisations (including their volunteers), but also families at home during this challenging time.
