The Wizard of Oz casts its spell at The Weatheralls!

Congratulations to all the pupils and staff who helped bring the Yellow Brick Road to life!

After discovering Sibling Support through Good Grief Soham, James Clements decided to take part in the Sibling Support Salhouse Broad 10K Memory Run/Walk, raising funds in memory of his sister, Emma.

Sibling Support was founded to provide support for young people who have lost a brother or sister - something James says he found great comfort in, even many years after his own loss.

So far, James has raised £150.00 for the charity, with donations still open!

Looking for a friendly place to meet new people? Soham Town Rangers FC’s Community Hub is continuing every Thursday from 10:00am-12:00pm until March 2027!

Alongside free tea, coffee and snacks, there’s a varied programme of activities including quizzes, bingo, seated exercise, games, guest speakers and more!

The Hub recently marked Carers Week by welcoming local organisations offering health checks, advice and support for unpaid carers, and its volunteers were also recognised during Volunteers’ Week for the difference they make to the community.

Whether you’d like to join in an activity or simply enjoy a chat over a cuppa, everyone is welcome!

It has been a busy few months for Twilight Tuesday WI! Members learned valuable lifesaving skills during a CPR and defibrillator training session with volunteers from East Cambridgeshire St John Ambulance, before enjoying a successful day at Soham Carnival, where their bottle tombola raised £125.00 for WI funds!

June’s AGM was followed by a fun “Pimms and Puddings” evening, with donations supporting a local women’s refuge.

New members are always welcome! The group meets on the second Tuesday of each month at Soham Town Rangers Social Club.

The countdown to Soham Pumpkin Fair is on!

Plans are well underway for this year’s Soham Pumpkin Fair, taking place on Saturday 26th September, with the fun theme of “Pumpkins of the Caribbean!"

The committee has already enjoyed success with its carnival float, winning 2nd place in the Organisation Class, and preparations continue behind the scenes... Returning favourites, including the funfair and ferrets, have already been confirmed, with more attractions to be announced soon!

This year’s fair will raise funds for Ely Foodbank @ Soham, The Weatheralls Primary School (playground equipment) and Soham United Football Club.

Save the date - it’s set to be another fantastic community event!

Despite the hot weather, thousands turned out to enjoy another fantastic Soham Carnival. Highlights included the colourful parade, heavy horse show, live music, family entertainment and a wide range of stalls and attractions!

Congratulations to Carnival Townsperson of the Year, Anita Nixon, recognised for her dedication to rescuing and caring for hedgehogs through Hedgehogs Corner, and to all the parade winners and participants who helped make the day such a success!

Around £6,000 is expected to be distributed to local charities and community groups, with Soham and Ely Foodbank once again receiving the main donation!

A huge thank you goes to the volunteers, sponsors and everyone who supported this year’s event. Roll on Soham Carnival 2027!

Submissions for our Recognition of Achievement are now open!

Has your child achieved something they are proud of this year? Whether they’ve learned to ride a bike, overcome a challenge, shown kindness to others, worked hard at school, achieved something in sport, music or a hobby, or simply reached a personal goal, we’d love to hear about it!

The Recognition of Achievement is open to children and young people aged 0–16 and aims to celebrate achievements of all kinds. No achievement is too big or too small!

Parents and guardians can submit a nomination by completing our online nomination form here: https://forms.gle/Y4iihLTouUxJ1dtn7

Every nominated child will receive a personalised Certificate of Recognition to the parent/guardian email address provided. These certificates can be printed at home and presented as a keepsake celebrating their achievement. We believe every child who is nominated deserves to have their efforts recognised! After nominations close, our committee will review all entries and select three winners. Winners’ parents or guardians will be contacted directly with details of how to claim their prizes.

We have had plenty of nominations already, and look forward to hearing all about what your nominee has been up to!
