We loved seeing everyone get stuck into our recent pottery session!

It was brilliant to see the young people getting creative with clay, having fun and trying something new.

Meet Aalijah, 7, and her sister, Laiyla.

Today, Aalijah starts an amazing challenge, walking 1 mile every day for 31 days, all for her sister and to help raise money for blind and partially sighted children and their families.

Watch Aalijah's story below to see just how much Laiyla inspires her, and support her fundraising challenge here - https://www.justgiving.com/page/aalijah-thompson1

31 days. 31 miles. One amazing sister. 🩷



[Video description: The video starts with Aalijah and Laiyla standing side by side in black coats and ties. Aalijah holds a water bottle, while Laiyla holds a white cane. The video takes us through their adventures together: splashing around in a river with little waterfalls, playing in a paddling pool with their brother, walking through a sandy play area, riding a mini tractor and a theme park ride, holding hands by a field, walking with their brother, and singing karaoke together in matching dresses in the garden. The karaoke continues after Aalijah’s narration stops, followed by a collection of photos of Aalijah and Laiyla together. We see them posing by the water near a huge rock formation and cave, playing in the paddling pool, posing outside their home, and standing by a river in matching dresses, denim jackets and sunglasses. More matching outfits follow, including tops and shorts with pink and beige hats, and pretty dresses with blue and pink hair bows. The video ends in a field, with Laiyla sitting on a large wooden chair while Aalijah stands behind her holding up a peace sign with one hand. They’re wearing matching blue outfits and pink hoodies.]

Music, play and big smiles!

A little goalball, a lot of fun! ⚽

Huge thanks to Goalball UK for hosting a great intro to goalball session recently! We got to learn the basics of how to play and have a go at some games too.

We had a great time and, a bit of friendly competition along the way too!

What a fantastic Kung fu session with Martial Attitude!

We explored the world of Kung fu, learning basic techniques and arm movements in a safe and supportive environment.

It's safe to say we had a lot of fun, and we wouldn't be surprised if some of our young people take up Kung fu after this!
