Lottery Funding Helps Launch Acorn Children's Clinic and Support Groups
From Dream to Reality - Raising £10,000 to Launch a Haven for Children's Health and Family Support
Behind every successful venture lies a story of determination, passion, and community support. Today, we celebrate the triumph of the Anderida Project - launching the Acorn Children's Clinic as well as multiple support groups, as they continue to positively impact the lives of countless families in the Forest Row area. Thanks to the resounding success of their lottery funding application, the clinic took flight, raising an impressive £10,000. Let's delve into their journey of turning dreams into reality and the valuable services they now offer to the community.
Raising £10,000: National Lottery Community Fund
Acorn Children's Clinic’s mission is for complementary therapy to be available to all children, including families in financial hardship. This much needed community project has been well supported, and received part funding from the National Lottery. This allows the clinic to offer lower-cost treatments to those families in financial need, and to those families who could not afford longer term treatments for their child if needed.
Our Osteopaths and Acupuncturists are experienced and specialised in treating all children from newborn babies to young children to teenagers up to 18. Our passion is to help your child or adolescent to become healthier and happier. There are ever increasing children with mental-emotional, physical, behavioural and neurological challenges, especially over recent years, and the clinic is a safe place where your child can come for help and support in their journey to thrive.
A Comprehensive Support System
The Anderida Project stands as a testament to the power of community support. In addition to offering exceptional osteopathy and acupuncture treatments in the Acorn Children’s Clinic, the project has also introduced multiple support groups. From breastfeeding and new mum support to a dedicated teen support group, we aim to foster a holistic and supportive environment for families at every stage of parenthood.
Breastfeeding and New Mum Support
For new mothers navigating the beautiful yet challenging journey of breastfeeding, Acorn Children's Clinic offers expert guidance and support.
Their team of experienced lactation consultants ensures that mothers receive personalized assistance, making breastfeeding a positive and nurturing experience for both mum and baby.
The breastfeeding support group fosters a sense of camaraderie, empowering mothers with a network of like-minded individuals.
Teen Support Group
The teenage years can be a rollercoaster of emotions and experiences. Acorn Children's Clinic acknowledges the unique needs of teenagers and has introduced a dedicated support group to address their concerns. The safe space provided by this group encourages open communication and emotional well-being, ensuring that teens feel heard and understood.
Homeopathic Drop-In Clinic
Recognizing the growing interest in holistic healthcare, we’ve introduced a homeopathic drop-in clinic. Here, families can explore alternative healing approaches in a relaxed and non-judgmental setting.
Qualified homeopathic practitioner Catherine Smith is available to offer advice and guidance, empowering families to make informed healthcare choices.
Conclusion
The success of Acorn Children's Clinic and its support groups is a testament to the power of community backing and unwavering determination. With the support of lottery funding, the clinic has emerged as a beacon of hope, providing a comprehensive support system for children and families alike. The dedication of the team, coupled with the continuous community support, promises an even brighter future for Acorn Children's Clinic and its invaluable services.
