Welcome to our Summer Holiday Newsletter!
As usual most of our regular groups are taking a break for the holidays but we still have our fortnightly Family swim at Bramley Baths, two sessions of Cricket for young people aged 11+, two sessions of Football for ages 4-16 and all Caitlin's Speech and Language groups.
We are also really excited to have our annual Big Sunshine Picnic at Temple Newsam on 9th August.
We've included some Ideas for fun Summer Holiday Activities in Leeds from Child Friendly Leeds, and information about Breeze in the Park - Summer 2025 Relaxed Events.
And you are of course always welcome to pop in and say hi at one of our two cafe's in Headingley and Kirkstall.
We are working reduced hours over the holidays but are still available via phone or email. Please email ailith@sunshineandsmiles.org.uk or ring 07442 332678 (weekdays) and 07472 320168 (weekends) if you need anything.
We hope you have a wonderful summer break and look forward to seeing you again in September (if we don't in the meantime).
