“I had such a lovely time meeting the Roundabout team, everyone was incredibly welcoming and supportive. A big thank you also to Sarah and Ellen who gave up their time to show me around the schools, introduced me to staff members, and shared their resources, I am very grateful.... (1/2)
Trust isn't always easy,especially after difficult experiences. One family recently shared "The #dramatherapy's been really positive for our son.For him to have created a bond an element of trust with an adult in such a short space of time has been really valuable" Please donate & support our work 💚
#WishYouWereHere.... where does Roundabout go on an awayday in #Brighton...Thanks for having us x

Delighted to welcome Councillor Barry Lewis, Leader of the London Borough of #sutton to the #dramtherapy room at Foresters Primary School today. A highlight of the visit was a group of Year Six leavers explaining about their experience of dramatherapy and talking so positively about this.
We are delighted to welcome Ellen and Farzana who have joined Roundabout as new #trustees. Our thanks to them both for taking the time to get to know the organisation, shadowing a trustee meeting and being mentored by Roya, one of our existing trustees. www.roundaboutdramatherapy.org.uk/about/

After show drinks with @roundaboutdrama.bsky.social's patron Matthew Spencer and our ex-CEO Lynn Cedar and friends, after a very fabulous show. Matthew was very silly and super talented in this laugh out loud west end show. Go see @playgoeswrong.bsky.social 😂😂😂 from @mischiefcomedy.bsky.social
We are looking forward to seeing our patron Mathew Spencer 'Go Wrong' this afternoon in Mischief Theatre's The Play that Goes Wrong.
A great spot at @aldispecialbuysuk.bsky.social this week, we have bought some sets to share these fidget toys with the #dramatherapy team at our next training day. Great to see @aldiukstores.bsky.social continues to stock sensory products. #fidgettoys #kitbag

Having read the Press Notice from the Children's Commissioner for England this morning, we'd like to highlight how services like Roundabout are here to help and are already helping. Included are projects in #Wandsworth and #Merton created to model ways to reduce #CAMHS waiting times
"She is a happier child". As #SmallCharityWeek draws to a close, we are thrilled to have received this feedback from one of the schools where we provide dramatherapy support.
Thank you to Razia and Alex from Community Action Sutton and Sarayu, for leading yesterday's small group network, taking place in #SmallCharityWeek. Fantastic opportunity to meet other organisations working in #Sutton and find out about the support they are providing.
A BIG THANK YOU to Jaclyn, from the The National Lottery Community Fund for this morning's drop-in surgery, hosted by Community Action Sutton for #SmallCharityWeek. Some really encouraging and helpful guidance in our attempts to secure further funding for #DramaTherapy with #OlderAdults.

The impact of small charities in the UK. #SmallCharitiesWeek
"It was truly a privilege to meet with the talented & ingenious team at Roundabout Dramatherapy earlier today! I'm honoured to have been welcomed into their space & to have learned about the invaluable work they do throughout all of London." A lovely message from Hannah Barbee, from Xavier Univ Ohio
“Small charities may be small in size, but they are BIG in impact.They're creating change in communities every day, often quietly & without recognition. Small Charity Week is a moment to celebrate that impact & to stand behind the organisations making it happen.” spokesperson for #SmallCharityWeek
This #SmallCharityWeek Roundabout's proud to be part of a national celebration of the vital role small charities play in communities across the UK. This year’s campaign, Small charities-Big impact, shines a light on the difference small charities make every day. www.smallcharityweek.org.uk
