Our annual summer 'Thank you' to our wonderful team of volunteers. We like to stay local so this year the venue was the garden at the Chapelhay Tavern, with a delicious buffet provided by The Pickled Pear .
A huge thank you to the Chapelhay for opening especially for us and arranging the tables and to Hayley and Leon for the perfect buffet - much appreciated by all!

Today is International Day of Play, a day to celebrate and raise awareness of the importance of children’s right to play.

This year’s theme is “Protect play, protect childhood”. In the busy world we live in today, the pressures on both places and time to play are ever-increasing. This day is to highlight the importance of providing access to safe environments for all children to play.

Play creates opportunities for children to learn, be creative and build social skills.

You can find out more information on International Day of Play and how you can get involved on the Unicef and United Nations websites.
