Picnic in the Park
For the first time ever, we will be holding a drop in session during the summer holidays!
However, it's a drop in session with a difference!
We'll be meeting at Sparrows Nest park, on Tuesday 2nd August, from midday onwards, to spend time together, make friends and support each other.
It'll be very informal, so feel free to turn up on the day with a picnic, and maybe some games, and chill out with us, letting the kids burn off some of their summer holiday energy!
Also, Louise from Activities Unlimited will be joining us, so if you have any questions for her, or would like to know more about Activities Unlimited, then come along for a chat!
We hope to see you there!
