We’re delighted to launch a new blog for the Hummingbird Project, where we’ll feature longer and more in-depth articles than the news stories we publish here. The team involved in the project, including psychologists from three universities, will explain more about the research and science behind the six-week course, which has helped nearly 7,500 children at schools in the North West learn to take care of their mental health.

The initial post is by the Hummingbird Project Development Manager, Catherine North, who tells us where the idea for the project first came from, and how partnership working and collaboration helped to make it a reality. You can read the article below.

“The switch adapted toys have been a wonderful addition to our school. Both staff and children were thrilled to have some new exciting resources. The children love the lights and movement many of these switch toys have and are highly motivated to explore and investigate how to make them work. They have been great for pupils to develop their understanding of cause and effect and we have also noticed improved concentration and engagement when using them. Often it can be difficult to find toys that are robust enough to withstand lots of heavy use AND be interesting and fun. These new resources tick all those boxes. They have made a noticeable impact on the children’s development in this area.”
