A huge thank you to Shades for generously donating two pallets worth of sweets to Play For Progress! 🍬

Our young people have enjoyed them all summer, as well as other local charities we have been working with.

Sadly, we're finally on our last few packets but they've been very tasty and well-received.

Free - The Roots worskshop - coming up on August 1

Run by Dramatherapists: Nina Mdwaba and Myriam Abdel - Basit

We invite you to come together to connect with yourself, others, nature and that which roots us through playing games, movement, breathwork, art and story making.

In this workshop, we'll start with gentle warm up activites and a breathing meditation, reflecting on our memories of trees. We'll then create a communal tree through story telling and crafts, and add our own messages of thanks and memory to it.

Only 20 spaces available

Time: 2pm - 4pm

Location: Croydon Museum

Ages: All ages welcome (under 16’s need to be accompanied by an adult)
