Imagination Unlimited – improving care-experienced young peoples wellbeing through providing items for hobbies and theatre trips

Imagination Unlimited is gifts items for care-experienced young people to enhance their wellbeing and give them the chance to learn a new skill or begin a new hobby. We have provided bikes, musical instruments, and sports equipment.

Items such as these are usually not accessible for a care-experienced young person, who don’t have the support of parents or the money to buy themselves these kinds of items. M requested a cricket bat from us so that he could join his local cricket team. Not only is he gaining the benefits of regular exercise, but he has also been able to meet new people and make new friends. M said: “Thank you so much..…..you have done a lot for me.”

 

We also received an application for an electric guitar to replace T’s old guitar – bought by us three years earlier – which he’d outgrown. He said “Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to own such a brilliant guitar. It plays so well and is going to really help me in my grade 6 exams and in my band. It sounds elite.”

As part of Imagination Unlimited, we also provide trips to the theatre. Recently, we took a group of care leavers to see the Lion King. For most of the young people it was their first time at the theatre. One young person who attended said “As soon as the curtain came up, I loved it –  it was amazing!” We have also taken 49 younger children and their carers to see Frozen and the Lion King. D’s carer said: “D really enjoyed it, even more so as he is taking GCSE drama and has never been to the theatre. His actual words were: I can see myself on that stage.”

If you would like to donate so we can provide items and trips to even more care-experienced children in Barnet, please reach out to us: hello@liveunlimited.org.uk or see our website: www.liveunlimited.org.uk Thank you ever so much.
