We had a fantastic morning at our Rising Stars group, joined by the wonderful Therapet team

A huge thank you to Fiona and Nelson and Sandra and Burli for spending time with us. The children (and grown-ups!) absolutely loved meeting these gentle, friendly companions—it brought so many smiles, cuddles, and special moments to our session.

Experiences like this make such a difference, helping build confidence, connection, and lots of happy memories
