🎃 What a day at Birchfield Ice Cream Farm!! 🎃

Our amazing siblings had the best time exploring the pumpkin fields, choosing their perfect pumpkins, having a go at the wash station, and soaking up those beautiful rainbows.

photo opportunities and plenty of muddy boots, it was pure autumn magic.

These days are so special – giving our siblings the chance to just be kids, make memories with friends who truly get it, and have fun away from the usual routine.

Huge thanks to everyone who joined us and made it such a brilliant outing!

A massive thank you to Birchfield Farm for hosting such a wonderful Pumpkin Festival. The fields looked incredible and the kids absolutely loved it.

Who else is still in pumpkin-picking mode? 🧡

This Sunday, Craig Dixon is running the McCain Yorkshire Coast 10k for The Sibling Group.🏃💨

The race starts and finishes at Scarborough Spa at 9.45am.

The route goes along South Bay, past the harbour, around the headland and into North Bay, passing Scarborough Castle and the Freddie Gilroy sculpture before coming back through the Open Air Theatre.

The Sibling Group is a Harrogate charity for brothers and sisters of children with additional needs.

The groups give those children their own time to make friends, play and just be themselves. Oscar’s Pathway is the day service for young adults and adults with complex needs..

Craig has raised £145 of his £500 target.

A donation or a share of his page goes to the groups and the day service.

We had an amazing trip to Harrogate Fire Station yesterday! 🚒🔥

We were lucky enough to have a tour of the station, where we learned all about the fire engines, the equipment firefighters use and what it’s like to be a firefighter.

Everyone had the opportunity to explore the equipment, try some of it on and even have a go at using the fire hose! 💦🚒

A huge thank you to the firefighters at Harrogate Fire Station for taking the time to welcome us, show us around and give everyone such a fun and memorable experience. ❤️

We had the best time! ✨

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone this Saturday for our Sibling Group meetup at the fire station! 🤠

A chance to look around, meet the crew, and have a bit of time that’s just for our siblings — fun, curiosity, and being part of the community.

If you have a brother or sister with additional needs and you’d like to join future groups, drop us a message or email [email protected] / [email protected].

See you there 💙
