Easter Holidays News - 30th March 2023

Welcome to our Easter Holidays newsletter! We hope you all have a lovely time over the Easter break and fingers crossed for some sunny weather!

Some of our groups are taking a break over the holidays, but during the next week we have our Family Swim Sessions, Football (ages 4-16), Sunshine Youth Club (age 11-18 years), Online Yoga (ages 16+) and Online Karaoke (ages 10+).

Unfortunately there is no Smilers with 'Made with Music' this Saturday. 

We have a new Makaton Signing for Babies and Families course starting 17th April! 

Staff will be working reduced hours over the Easter holidays but we are still available by telephone and email for advice, support and signposting – please don’t hesitate to get in touch at any time.

Telephone: 07442 332678 (weekdays) or 07472 320168 (weekends)
