ways of working to further strengthen the Centre's long term financial future. Whilst it was unfortunate for the Centre, it Wds
wonderful for her and herfamity, when Sophie left in January 2024 to bw'n hersecontl perbod of Matemity Leave since joining

experlente we understood that our outdoor sewons were muth more well attended than our indoor wet weather alternative
se￿On$, so thi5 year we tried to do as many outdoor sessions as posgble and experimented with offering some double

With the good weather we rn￿aged a total of 24 well attended outdi)or library and craft ses￿on$ attracting up to 21 children.
Out of a total of40 sessions In the yew, 16 of the5ewere held indoors due to poor weather and were attended by fewer
