Just over a week to go until the Bare Your Soles barefoot walk for Ataxia UK! 👣

We are so excited to see everyone — and their toes too (only if they fancy coming out to say hello 😄). Of course, shoes are absolutely welcome for anyone who needs them.

I’m incredibly grateful for the support of the amazing girls in Bruce House at Stowe School. They have been absolutely brilliant — organising, sourcing raffle prizes, and using all of their creativity and energy to help make this year’s barefoot walk the best one yet.

Thank you all so much for your support — we can’t wait! 💙

🌟 Remember to book your tickets at www.bareyoursoles.co.uk! 🌟

We know times are tough right now, and we don’t want money to be a barrier for anyone who wants to join the walk. If you need a little help, please reach out—we’re happy to discuss different options.

While we hope to raise as much as possible for Ataxia UK, we’d hate for that to stop anyone from being part of what promises to be a fun and inspiring day. Let’s walk together for a great cause! 💙👣

Join us for a barefoot walk at Stowe School — a feel-good way to support Ataxia UK and reconnect with nature! Walking barefoot can help improve balance, ground your senses, and deepen your connection to the outdoors. It’s perfect for families, teams, and anyone wanting a gentle wellbeing boost. We’ll share simple prep tips for your feet and suggest comfortable paces, plus reassure you about safety along the route. Ready to take the first step?

As we are approaching the end of term, we are starting to put together our new Herd Connections Groups for after the October half-term break. These groups aim to support children and young people to:
- Build positive self-esteem, self-confidence and self-love
- Learn about fight/flight/freeze triggers and responses
- Develop self-regulation strategies
- Explore sensory overload
- Develop self-advocacy skills
- Learn how to nourish their body and mind
- Create social connections with like-minded peers
- Enjoy peace and calm in nature, surrounded by animals

All our learning is experiential as the young people learn how to care and interact with the animals, which in turn opens up many conversations about what we need to feel comfortable, content and regulated ourselves.

Group sessions:

Monday 11:15-12:15 (Ages 7-11) - ONE SPACE LEFT
Monday 13:00-14:00 (Ages 11-15) - TWO SPACES LEFT
Wednesday 16:00-17:00 (Ages 8-12) - TWO SPACES LEFT
Friday 11:30-12:30 (Ages 12-15) – ONE SPACE LEFT
Friday 13:00-14:00 (Age group undecided) - FOUR SPACES LEFT

Please email [email protected] to enquire about booking a place on a group.

Check out the plans for tomorrows barefoot walk.

With just over 24 hours till the start of the walk, I think it is safe to say that we are not going to be blessed with the amazing (if a little hot) weather that we had last year. Therefore the advice of what to bring is going to be very different from that of last year. WHATS THE PLAN?2:30pm - 3:00...
