Our Cup-O-T story:
We started with a Therapy Van: In November 2018 we purchased a Ford Transit van, over 7 months we transformed it into a calming therapy space. The Cup-O-T therapy van was used for therapy appointments, as a base for groups or to run workshops from at events.
In 2024 we retired the therapy van, a hard decision but now we have other beautiful spaces to work from.
The Therapy Woodland: Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic we were unable to use the therapy van as a space for appointments due to social distancing. Instead we used it as a base and held appointments outdoors, in nature reserves, community spaces and woodlands. As social distancing lifted our young people and families requested that this continues. So the quest to find a woodland space began! In 2022 after a wonderful Crowdfunder and planning permission secured we began to run therapy services from there.
In 2023 we were chosen at The People’s Project by the National Lottery and ITV, following a public vote we were awarded £70,000. This has enabled us to set up our Cup-O-T Campfire Community. We are now able to provide therapy sessions, group and community workshops in this space with our beautiful shelter and therapy cabin.
Therapy Room and Office: In 2024 we moved into our office space above the wonderful Kett’s Books in Wymondham. It’s a great space for the team to work from, and we also have a therapy room that has been decorated to reflect our woodland space. Visiting is by appointment only.
