🌿💦 Make sure you book on our Summer SEND Adventure Trail — THIS THURSDAY!

It’s going to be a HOT one! ☀️ So why not join us in the woods at Cromwell Bottom, where we’ll be spending some time by the pond with the brilliant Cromwell Bottom volunteers for guided pond-dipping! 🐸🦋🪲

We’ll be getting our nets in and seeing what amazing creatures we can discover beneath the surface.

And yes… being by the pond in the woods might be about the closest thing we can offer to cooling off! 😂

Our Summer Adventure Walks are relaxed, inclusive and designed for SEND families with children of all ages. Come along, explore, get stuck in.

🌿 This Thursday
📍 Cromwell Bottom Nature Reserve
🐸 Guided pond dipping
💚 Created for SEND families

👉 Don't forget – it's the SEND Dads Social this Thursday!

If you've been thinking about coming along but haven't made it yet, this is your sign. It's a friendly, welcoming group of dads who understand the ups and downs of parenting children with SEND. No pressure, no formal stuff, just a relaxed chance to chat with others who get it.

This week's session will be run by our fantastic volunteer, Tim.

🍺 Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are available for purchase.

If the thought of walking in on your own feels overwhelming, we completely understand. Just send us a message and we can arrange to meet you outside.

Not quite ready to come along? We also have a WhatsApp peer support group for SEND dads. Just message 07484 653726 and we'll happily add you.

Please help us spread the word by sharing this post or tagging a dad who might benefit.

📅 This Thursday
🕖 7:00–8:30 pm
