Hello and welcome to 2025! We hope your year has started well and the snow hasn't caused too much chaos for you!
We unfortunately had to cancel Sunbeams this morning, but we are hoping to have this week (weather allowing): Early Development- Busy Bees, Ducklings and Tadpoles, Online Karaoke Session for ages 10+, Yoga for Smilers and Youth (Ages 8-18) and Football for ages 4-16.
We are very excited to share that we will soon be opening a new Cafe 21 location as we will be taking over the running of the much-loved community cafe at Hollybush Conservation Centre.
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.
