๐ŸŽจโ˜• A Short Break for Cam/Glen Juniors! โ˜•๐ŸŽจ

Our Cam/Glen Juniors enjoyed a well-deserved outing this evening to Cafรฉ Ceramico in East Kilbride, where they had the chance to relax, get creative, and enjoy a variety of tasty snacks.

Everyone's artistic talents really shone through during the pottery painting session, with some choosing acrylic paints and others opting for glaze. It was fantastic to see everyone having fun together, expressing their creativity, and proudly showing off their wonderful creations. We absolutely love what you made!

As always, a huge thank you to Cafe Ceramico for being so accommodating and welcoming to SLYC. Whether it's for our 1-2-1 sessions or evening groups, they consistently provide a warm and supportive environment. We're incredibly fortunate to have such a fantastic facility right on our doorstep.

Well done to all our young artistsโ€”we can't wait to see what you create next! ๐ŸŽจโœจ

Next session we are decorating cakes before kicking off our summer programme in July โ˜€๏ธ

What a night our 16+ Young Carers had at Escape Hunt Glasgow! ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿงฉ

The group split into two teams and went head-to-head to crack clues, solve puzzles, unlock mysteries, and race against the clock โฐ๐Ÿ’ฅ There was lots of teamwork, laughter, shouting out ideas, and plenty of dramatic โ€œWEโ€™VE GOT IT!โ€ moments ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™Œ

From hidden clues to tricky challenges, everyone worked brilliantly together and showed amazing communication and problem-solving skills ๐ŸŒŸ

After all the excitement, we finished the night with a well-earned meal at McDonaldโ€™s ๐Ÿ”๐ŸŸ

Here are some highlights from a fantastic night full of fun, teamwork, and memories made ๐Ÿ’™

๐ŸŽข M&Dโ€™s Trip ๐ŸŽข

Last Wednesday, our Cam/Glen Juniors enjoyed a well-deserved day out at M&D's Scotland's Theme Park during the Easter holidaysโ€”an outing they chose themselves!

The young people had a fantastic time trying new rides, revisiting old favourites, conquering fears, sharing laughs, and making unforgettable memories. It truly was a fun-filled day from start to finish.
They also took a break from the excitement to enjoy lunch at Monterey Jack's.

A big well done to everyone who got involved and made the most of the dayโ€”even with the very typical Scottish weather ๐Ÿ˜Š

A huge thank you to Lanarkshire Carers for supporting this opportunity through vouchers, as well as Action for Children Enrichment Funding via Nationwide Building Society ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

With it being the Easter holidays, our CamGlen seniors had a fantastic day out at the Five Sisters Zoo ๐Ÿ†

With so many amazing animals to see (and a few shy ones to spot!), everyone had their own favourites!

Add in some burgers, ice cream, and bright weather, and it made for a truly enjoyable day for all ๐Ÿคฉ
