Hi everyone . I hope you are all well. This week is a really exciting week for PALS. We have our 1st in person Breathe and Belong session at The Wellness Cottage. It is a meditation class, open to all carers, starting at 11 am on Tuesday. There is a second meditation class on Sunday 14th of June. Both classes are open to bookings on our website. https://www.playandlearningsupport.co.uk/book-online?category=daec7d98-38da-43d8-8c1e-16f224f5d068

🦁 Also this week is the Dreamnight event at Blair Drummond! We are really looking forward to that.

🚶‍♀️The 8th of June marks the start of Carers Week and we have a fantastic event to bring us together that week. There will be a guided walk starting at the Boathouse, Auchinstarry, Kilsyth on Friday 12th June at 10 am. After the walk we will return to the Boathouse for coffee/tea/juice and a chat.

All carers in North Lanarkshire are welcome to come along, non PALS members are welcome too. To book please click this link: https://www.playandlearningsupport.co.uk/service-page/guided-walk?referral=service_list_widget

Hi everyone. I hope you are all enjoying the holiday weekend and this lovely weather. This week all of our weekly activities are on and it will be the last PALS subsidised taekwondo session. Please remember you can contact Raw Taekwondo if you would like to continue the classes. At Thrive Tribe this week it is Pizza and McDonalds week!

🥰 On Tuesday this week we have our very first Breathe & Belong session for carers! (All parents who provide care and support for their ASN child) Our first session will consist of a course by Naomi Fisher and then a discussion amongst those booked onto the course at the end.

The course is a recording and is open to all carers in North Lanarkshire, non PALS members are welcome too.

Here is a summary of the course:
💻 Naomi Fisher, clinical psychologist will talk about why autistic children often have outbursts of anger (both external and internal), how it builds up and how to help them. She'll explain the different skills which children need to learn in order to manage their anger, and why this can be particularly hard for autistic children. She'll give you some practical tips and strategies to help your child and your family.

🌐 There is still time to book. The session is FREE! Here is the link to book:

🧘‍♀️ After the information session, the next Breathe & Belong carer session is a FREE meditation class in June at The Wellness Cottage. There are 2 sessions and both are available to book:

📆 Tuesday 2nd June at 11 am - https://www.playandlearningsupport.co.uk/service-page/meditation-carer-session-2?referral=service_list_widget

📆 Sunday 14th June at 11 am - https://www.playandlearningsupport.co.uk/service-page/meditation-carer-session-3?referral=service_list_widget

Hi everyone. I hope you are well. We have a very exciting week ahead with the Dream Night tickets and our summer programme being opened for booking! Here is what's coming up for PALS:

🦁 Blair Drummond's Dream Night tickets will be open for booking on Tuesday at 6 pm. There will be a bus hired for this event.
🛒 Thrive Tribe is going to ASDA on Wednesday to shop for items to donate to a local food bank. This was a really great experience for the children at Christmas time. Not only did the children have fun, they learned many life skills and gave their time to help others. Any questions about this activity please get in touch.
🌞 Our amazing summer programme will open for bookings on Friday at 6 pm. There are loads on offer and all events will only be £1 per person for each event.
🤗 We are delighted to share the amazing news that we have been awarded £2995 from Carers Together Time for Me Grant. With this money we are launching 'Breathe & Belong', which is a programme of sessions for carers (all parents/guardians responsible for ASN children are carers) in North Lanarkshire. All sessions will be FREE!
🥋 30th of May will be the last session of Taekwondo that is subsidised by PALS due very low numbers. However, Raw Taekwondo will be continuing the classes and would love to still have PALS members along. Please contact Robert Robertson at Raw Taekwondo if you need any more information. A huge thank you to Raw Taekwondo for their fantastic classes.
💻 All activities and events can be booked online on our website: https://www.playandlearningsupport.co.uk/book-online
