For The Love Of A Child
Description
For the Love of a Child (FLOC) help children heal from trauma and rebuild their futures.
Founded by Donna Jennings after the loss of her five-year-old son Samuel, FLOC delivers creative therapies, including dramatherapy, to children experiencing grief and emotional challenges. With 70% of children affected by trauma lacking access to timely support, FLOC is overwhelmed with demand. They plan to license their flagship programme, The Listening Stone, which helps children process loss, for purchase by other organisations. Interest from the WHO and others signals strong potential, but FLOC lack the capacity to license.
With our backing, FLOC will launch The Listening Stone commercially and develop new products, generating new income streams to expand their services to more parts of the UK.
