Huge thank you to all our friends and support.

Happy national friendship day, here’s an article about a great friendship we’ve made with Bills family thanks to The Lily Foundation 🥰🥰

The friends facing mitochondrial disease together.

International Friendship Day is a chance to celebrate the people who stand beside us through life’s challenges. For two Lily families, a chance meeting at our support weekend has led to a shared experience of mitochondrial disease and a friendship that’s become an invaluable source of strength, support and joy.

Both families had children living with mitochondrial disease. Both loved running. Their children were of similar ages. And, perhaps most importantly, they seemed like people who would simply get along.

That introduction proved life changing.

Overwhelmed by Ruby’s beautiful school and headteacher organising the Ruby run over the last week. It really was emotional and made us feel so grateful for a wonderful school community. I can’t believe she’s about to finish her first year and what a success it has been in so many ways. So grateful to all the staff at St Wilfrids for all they have done.

Today’s the day! 💕

1pm onwards ~ Ruby Wren Fest ‘The Big Picnic’

A couple of notes:

• It is CASH ONLY - there will be raffle tickets on sale along with ice-cream and a few cakes and a donation box next to tea & coffee making facilities
• The driveway to nursery will be NO ACCESS - this is to keep the entrance and car park safe for you and your children. Parking will be along the main road or on the road leading to nursery, we encourage walking where possible.
• Bring a plate, sweet or savoury, to share - this will be added to a table for everyone to enjoy (like a big Jacob’s joint). Please be mindful, if you have allergies, that some foods may be homemade therefore have no ingredients list
• We have bracelet making, glitter tattoos, a sensory room, colouring & crafts, music, digger land, sand land and our preschool toys ALL FREE

This year is all about COMMUNITY, where we come together, have loads of chilled fun, show a beautiful family that we are all here and make Ruby feel special & loved

We can’t wait to see you!
