Welcome to our newsletter for the week commencing 13th July. This is the last newsletter before we take a break over the summer and return in September.
This week we have: Individual Support Sessions, Sunbeams (Ages 0-4), Early Development Group - Busy Bees, Early Development Group - Caterpillars, Online Yoga for 16+, Cricket for young people aged 11+, Yoga for Sunflowers (Ages 2-8), Family swim at Bramley Baths, Caitlin's Yellow Speech and Language Groups
Most of our activities and groups will take a break over the holidays and staff will be working reduced hours.
Everyone is welcome at our Skelton Grange Activity Day and the Sunshine and Smiles summer picnic at Temple Newsam. Our swimming sessions at Bramley Baths continue over the summer as do our online karaoke and yoga sessions. And of course, our two wonderful cafe's - 21 Co. in Headingley and Cafe 21 at Hollybush in Kirkstall are open and we'd love to see you!
As always, we are available by telephone and email for advice, support and signposting – please don’t hesitate to get in touch at any time.
