FROM Sarah Hamilton Platform 3.4.20

Just a reminder that the State of Mind from Platfform Vimeo channel is continuously added to with fun, uplifting videos of activities, mindfulness and random happy stuff!

Please follow here:

http://Vimeo.com/platfformyp

Instagram is also live and we would love to receive artwork, poems or anything that your young people are finding inspiring at this time! Please email or send via whats app.

Stateofmindfromplatfform

I am also making Tiktoks (much to my daughter’s horror!) for a bit of fun! Had so many comments from the young people I work with telling me they bring a smile to their face and helps to get them going! So I will keep on going with them as long as those smiles are coming!

@sazzlehams

Please share with anyone you feel would appreciate and, as always, if there is anything else we can do for you, don’t hesitate to get in contact!

Stay safe and warm, positive energy for the weekend and the sun that is coming!
