In partnership with Blossom & Belong CIC
🌸 Blossom & Belong at Naylor’s Ark 🐷
A little space to breathe, a place to belong, and some furry friends along the way.
Sometimes the world feels a little too loud. 🌸
We’ve teamed up with the wonderful Blossom & Belong CIC to create something special for girls who might be finding life a little overwhelming.
Blossom & Belong CIC is a volunteer-led community interest company based in Solihull, providing safe, low-pressure spaces for girls experiencing anxiety, autism, school avoidance or social isolation.
Together, we’re bringing that supportive environment to Naylor’s Ark, where girls can spend time outdoors, meet our rescued animals, build confidence, make connections and simply enjoy being themselves.
No pressure to fit in. No expectations to be someone you’re not. Just somewhere you’re welcome exactly as you are. Whether that’s chatting with others, quietly spending time with an animal, developing new skills or just enjoying the fresh air, everyone can take things at their own pace.
Every £5 session also helps us feed and care for the rescued animals who call Naylor’s Ark home. Helping girls blossom while giving our sanctuary a reason to keep growing. ❤️
What to expect
Animal Connections
Spend time meeting our rescue animals in a calm, supportive environment. Animal time is always optional and supervised.
A Breath of Fresh Air
Enjoy being outside, away from some of the pressures of everyday life.
Connection Without Pressure
Opportunities to meet others and build friendships, with no expectation to socialise.
Confidence at Your Own Pace
Celebrate little achievements, try something new and develop independence.
A Place to Belong
A welcoming environment where differences are respected and everyone can be themselves.
Activities are flexible rather than a fixed timetable. These sessions are supportive and social — they are not clinical therapy and don’t replace professional mental-health care.

Two organisations. One shared goal. ❤️
Blossom & Belong CIC brings its experience creating welcoming, low-pressure spaces for girls who may struggle in conventional social environments.
Naylor’s Ark provides the animals, outdoor environment and opportunities for meaningful connection through our sanctuary.
Together, we want girls to feel accepted, supported and valued.
Your £5 makes a difference 🐷
Naylor’s Ark is a small sanctuary caring for rescued animals while providing opportunities for people in our community. We don’t have large funding streams behind us, and keeping our animals fed, safe and cared for throughout the year is an ongoing challenge.
By attending one of our Blossom & Belong sessions, you’re not only supporting a girl’s wellbeing — you’re helping our animals too. A little kindness can make a big difference to both ends of the lead. ❤️
