Creative Emotional Wellbeing for Children

Helping children express, connect and thrive through creativity, mindfulness and inclusive community spaces.

At The Lollipop Trust CIC, we create safe, nurturing spaces where children can explore their emotions, discover their voice and build meaningful connections, online and in person.

Our Beliefs

Leading Change Through Passion and Purpose

At The Lollipop Trust CIC, we believe every child deserves a safe space to express their emotions, build confidence and feel truly seen.

Through creative activities, mindfulness and shared experiences, we support children’s emotional wellbeing in a way that feels natural, joyful and empowering.

From art and storytelling to performance and connection, our programmes help children develop emotional resilience, self-awareness and meaningful relationships — both online and in person.

Facts That Matter

Childhood emotional challenges are rising globally.
Loneliness, stress and mental health concerns are impacting children’s ability to learn, connect and thrive.

What the Evidence Shows

Children involved in creative arts show improved coping strategies and communication skills.

Mindfulness practices help reduce anxiety and improve focus in children.

Social connection — especially through shared creative experiences — reduces feelings of isolation.

A significant percentage of children experience feelings of loneliness — affecting both emotional and social development.

Children who engage in expressive activities develop stronger emotional intelligence and resilience.

Creative arts therapy has been shown to improve emotional expression, reduce stress and increase self-esteem in young people.

Rates of child depression and anxiety have been steadily increasing year on year.
