Raphael’S Room CIC

Raphael’s Room was able to start providing our preventative services for care leavers this year following the receipt of a grant from the Big Issue in November 2024 to cover our planned activities for the ongoing fifteen months. It has meant that in 24/25 we have been able to provide dynamic spaces where creativity and community intersect. Connecting young people back to their body and emotions and allowing them create to a life beyond limitations. We were founded to help young people with care experience aged 18-25 to heal mind, body and soul via creativity, sound and frequency. This is based on my own healing journey as a care leaver who had been through abuse and neglect. Our mission is to become a platform of opportunity utilising creativity as a catalyst to heal and create change. We uniquely use sound and frequency to move stuck energy and emotions (stress/trauma etc) out of the body. A balanced energy system is important for your overall well-being, particularly if you are neurodiverse. We are the only project like this in the UK for care leavers. Our vision is to create the UK’s first healing hub for young people. Every young person should have access to the best resources & guidance. By empowering young people with free holistic wrap around support, they’re tapping in to their emotions and limitless potential for the first time, building confidence and experiencing the interconnectedness of life; all whilst feeling part of a loving community who understand their unique experiences. Our events this year have received positive feedback from our young people with 95% requesting that we put on events more regularly. We are currently working on increased funding and creating a self-sustaining ecosystem.
