Sunshine & Smiles

Welcome to our newsletter!

This week we have Online Karaoke, Swimming, Orange and Yellow Speech and Language Groups, and Cricket.

With the summer holidays starting this week or next, many of our groups will be taking a break until September. Swimming and Cricket will be continuing as usual. There will be one Saturday Smilers group (age 8-18) and one Sunflowers group (age 2-8) - dates to be confirmed.

We are also getting together for a picnic on 6th August at Temple Newsam, and there will be an evening social for young people age 18+ (please fill in the survey here if you're wanting to attend this one).

We will be running on reduced staffing but will still be available by telephone and email for advice, support and signposting – please don’t hesitate to get in touch at any time.
