Think Ahead Stroke

🎨Getting creative at Think Ahead!
Yesterday our group got hands-on with some air drying clay, in collaboration with Create - a relaxed, sociable afternoon of getting creative together!
Its activities like these that remind us how important it is to have a space to relax, create, and connect with others. A huge thank you to Create for such a lovely session, and well done to everyone who took part - we loved seeing what you made!
Create will be joining us for the next 5 weeks every Thursday. Fancy joining? Get in touch!🎨

💙 Kim is Raising Money for The Brain Tumour Charity 💙

Kim is raising money on behalf of her dad, Ken, to support The Brain Tumour Charity and the vital work they do to support people and families affected by brain tumours.
Ken is a valued member of the Think Ahead community and a regular at our Tavern group. Sadly, Ken is currently living with a brain tumour, and his daughter Kim wanted to do something positive to help others who are facing similar challenges.
Kim is hoping to raise as much as possible to support The Brain Tumour Charity and help them continue providing vital information, support and guidance to people affected by brain tumours.
Every donation, no matter how big or small, can make a difference. 💙

Please support Kim’s fundraising, share her post and help her reach her fundraising goal.
Thank you for your kindness and support. 🙏
