Edenbridge, we need your support again, please!

Please can you put the blue tokens in BRIDGES’s box when you next shop at Edenbridge Tesco Store?

Please ask for the blue tokens if you don’t see them at the till.

This fund will help us enhance the FREE after School Lego Club at BRIDGES.

We would like to be able to provide more substantial health snacks to the children attending this club. So they can focus on making amazing LEGO creations!

Thank you 🤩

Unfortunately we are cancelling this event. The trustees felt there is no enough confirmed attendees for this event to go ahead.

Please can we use this opportunity to ask:
Did this kind of event appeal to you? If so what held you back from booking a place before now?

It will help us with future event planning.

Thank you!
