needed items and we were absolutely amazed by the generosity of people and businesses across the
community in supporting this appeal.
Our much-loved Halloween disco made a return in 2022 after a two year break.
As we moved towards 2023 the group declded to trlal a weekly toddler mornlng. We sent out an
appea5 for toys which was superbly supported, and we held our first Session on 15 March 2023. this

Refreghments are provided and it provides a great settin8 for not only the toddlers to interact with
each other but also a social setting for the adults.
