🌈We hope you've all had a fab start to September, and that everyone beginning school this last week has had a successful and enjoyable start!

🌈If you can no longer attend our groups during the week, or if you'd just like something a little extra, don't forget our Saturplay drop-in sessions officially start on September 19th! We'll have lots of indoor and outdoor activities going on, as well as tea and coffee on tap and healthy snacks for the children!

🌈All the family are welcome to come along, so come and enjoy the fun with us!

🌟 In June, we were visited by Emma Polin from the Deaf Children's Society. Emma brought lots of information to share, and chatted to some of our parents about glue ear and hearing loss.

Please do get in touch if you would like any information regarding your child's hearing. We have leaflets for you to take home, and can point you in the right direction for further support.

🌈 Could you spare a few hours to make a real difference to local families? 🌈

Kidlinks is your local charity supporting children aged 0-5 and their families through drop-in play sessions, early years activities and parent support, and we're looking for friendly, caring volunteers to join our amazing team!

Our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. Without them, we simply couldn't provide the support that so many local families rely on.

Each week, we support babies, toddlers, pre-school children and their families through a range of welcoming groups that help children learn through play while providing parents and carers with friendship, encouragement and support.

As a volunteer, you could help by:
🧸 Setting up and tidying away activities
🍏 Preparing snacks in the kitchen
β˜• Making tea and coffee
🎨 Playing with children and supporting crafts and messy play
πŸ‘‹ Welcoming families
πŸ’¬ Chatting with parents and carers and helping them feel included
❀️ Being part of a team that makes a genuine difference

Whether you can offer a couple of hours a week or help on an ad hoc basis when needed, we'd love to hear from you!

Volunteering with Kidlinks is a fantastic way to give something back to your community, meet new people, gain experience working with children and families, and be part of a fun, supportive team. All volunteers are recruited through our safer recruitment process, and we'll arrange for your enhanced DBS check free of charge.

If you think this could be for you, please get in touch-we'd love to have a chat and tell you more.

πŸ’š We are on tomorrow, hooray!

Although we are experiencing another wave of hot weather, the humidity is not as high as a couple of weeks ago, and so we are able to run! We will have cold drinks available, fans on, and waterplay outside πŸ’œ

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Rachel! ###
