Place To Wonder

Over the past financial year Place to Wonder has generated funding from 5 funders and executed the following projects and pieces of work: Place to Wonder and Flickerpix created a partnership co production with Copa Studios in Brazil to generate more funding for our Luna and the Land of Dreams Children’s Animation (a series that will explore children’s anxieties using storytelling through animation) to broadcasters across Ireland and Northern Ireland and secured 85% of the funding. We aim to go into production in Spring 2025. With the funding we secured the year before created another Children’s Emotional Health and Wellbeing programme that will be adapted into a children’s relaxation book called Sweet Dreams. This programme is specifically for early years children to support self-regulation and speech and language development post pandemic. This programme was delivered in primary schools, nurseries, sure starts and refugee families across Belfast. Reaching over 600 participants. Our Dream a Little Dream Children’s Emotional Health and Wellbeing Workshops continue to be delivered to schools across Belfast. The workshop has also been adapted into a Dream a Little Dream Children’s Relaxation book each child received a book after the workshop at £10 per book generating passive income for the organisation. This year we added Sweet Dreams workshops and books to this programme generating additional funding at £8 per book. We secured an additional 2 years of funding from Children in Need to take the Sweet Dreams programme to 28 Sure Starts across Northern Ireland.
