“Children talk things through and come to teachers only when needed. They are learning to regulate their emotions.”- Teaching Assistant
We have been so fortunate to work with @activedevon to support embedding mentally healthy movement into a group of primary schools.
We are grateful to @afPE_PE for this article detailing our work and the impact on the children in these settings, and looking forward to working more with Active Devon in the new academic year.

We want to help more children to be happier, healthier humans and more calm, focused learners.
Our Surge programme feedback shows an increase in children's readiness for learning and growing connections between pupils and staff.

Really enjoyed talking about the positive ways in which the Play Their Way campaign is shaping and shifting what is means to coach and care for children playing, moving and performing.

Stories are powerful. They show need, give voice, represent change, growth & potential. This is what we do @hellostormbreak in education, health and social care. It matters. Pls watch & share Kai’s stormbreak story.
Thank you @AdeleRoberts for the beautiful VO.
3 Feb 2025
Kai's stormbreak story is now live here: stormbreak.org.uk/videos/pro…
Like Kai, an estimated one in five children in England have a probable mental health disorder, and we are on a mission to change that. Last year, we celebrated the completion of 1 million stormbreak activities across education and care settings – and this video showcases the impact behind that number.
Please take a moment today to watch and share Kai’s story, read by our wonderful narrator Adele Roberts, to learn why stormbreak is so important.
Together, we can embed mentally healthy movement in every school, for every child, every day.
Visit stormbreak.org.uk/ to learn more about this mission or reach out to hello@stormbreak.org.uk to enquire about stormbreak programmes.

It’s crunch time for Martin and Deena - they took on the Five boroughs together, but how did they fare?
They bring you a special episode of Marathon Talk from the streets of New York City, bringing to life the stories of those around them.

This week we think about relationships. For children to learn healthy relationships they need trusted people to connect and communicate with warmth, compassion, openness and care. Can you complete 'Friendship and Empathy' at home?
