'Cuddling has been extremely good for me. It helps me handle and express my emotions.'
'I have been missing cuddles and intimacy. This has caused me to feel quite alone and isolated. This space that Kathy has created enabled me to soften myself enough to receive from others. Really grateful, I feel like I am warm, fuzzy and feeling loved'.
' What you teach me about boundaries helps me not just in the workshop but in all aspects of my life'.
'I loved the fact that I could sit out and that I was totally respected, also that I was not left, so I felt cherished. I did not want to be touched. I wanted to talk, so that relaxed me, so that I felt able to express myself. The power of saying 'No' to another empowers me to say 'Yes' to myself. This enables me to connect with myself and that's the starting point for connection.'
'Today was the best day of the year for me, thanks Touch Project'.
'I didn't even realise how much I was missing caring touch. Getting platonic touch helped me so much and I think this project saved my life. At the end of Covid I was diagnosed with a deep depression. The doctor gave me a course of medication and CBT but it was not working , had a recent break up and I was really down. I stumbled upon your group as it was close to where I lived so I thought I would try it out. I became a regular when the project started as I had missed out on connection, thank you.'
'I love the cake!'
'Thanks for making a safe place to get connection'.
The first Cinema, Cuddles and Cake was really good fun! The movie ' The Enchanted Cottage' was not quite what we expected. We all had a real laugh together making fun of the film. The cakes were delish. It was great night and I will be back!

In this hushed eve, where spirits meet,
A cuddle workshop, oh so sweet,
With gratitude, our hearts take flight,
For this calm respite in the night.
Your gentle guidance, soft and low,
Hath helped us to connect and grow,
Like ancient trees, with roots entwined,
Our souls in harmony, we find.
No boisterous mirth, nor laughter's call,
But quiet peace within this hall,
A sanctuary of gentle touch,
Where solace flows and means so much.
So thank you, friends, for this still space,
Where love and comfort interlace,
May we forever hold this night,
In gentle memory, soft and bright.
(Thanks for the session this evening 10.10.24).
