Welcome back to our newsletter after the summer break!
Whilst many of our regular groups took a break over the summer, we enjoyed seeing lots of you at various one-off summer events.
This week we have: Sunbeams (Ages 0-4), Caitlin's Green Speech and Language Groups, Online Karaoke Session for ages 10+, Yoga for Smilers and Youth (Ages 8-18)* and Family swim at Bramley Baths. There is no football this week- the first session will be 21st September.
*at the earlier time of 10am for just this week.
We are also excited to announce the dates for an upcoming nearly new sale, and our annual party in November, and let you know about the chance to build a scarecrow at Harewood House.
We are also recruiting for an Administration and Finance Officer.
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.
