Welcome to our newsletter for this week.
This week we have Early Development - Caterpillars and Hatchlings, Speech and Language one-to-one sessions, Siblings Group. and Yoga for Smilers and Youth (Ages 8-18).
We have been so completely blown away by the love and support from so many people which has meant that we have reached our Crowdfunding target of £30,000!! Thank you.
There is only 1 day left to book onto our Sunshine & Smiles Party on 8th December - bookings will close on 27th November so we can confirm numbers with the venue, so don't miss out.
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.
