This 3-day residential for foster families was held at Embercombe on the edge of Dartmoor National Park

A sunny weekend saw six foster families with Imayla staff and volunteers spending time getting out of the city and away from the dynamics of daily life into neutral territory in the natural environment.

This was an opportunity to experience the power of being away together in nature in improving health and well-being, having fun, raising self-confidence and developing positive and trusting relationships in order to reduce the likelihood of placement breakdown.

Here you could just be you. Everyone was very non-judgmental of each other and accepting the person that’s in front of you.
