About Clara May Warden
Founder director of Dandelion Confidence CIC
Hi I'm Clara,
PGCE English with Drama, Forest School L3, Outdoor First Aid, UnLtd Award winner
I'm founder & director of Dandelion Confidence CIC, a social enterprise designed to increase the self confidence and wellbeing of children and young people.
I am a passionate believer that all children and young people deserve to have the self confidence and access to resources they need to achieve their personal goals and ambitions.
In my 15 years of educational experience, I have developed a child led, strengths based, play centred approach to build this essential self confidence.
I work across the North East in a range of settings including schools, alternative provisions and homes.
I love...
