💚🧡 Team time at Heads Up Leicester! 🧡💚

Last week, it was lovely to get together for a team training session.

Our team is full of amazing people with lots of experience, skills and ideas. Because we're usually out and about across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland supporting children, young people and families, we don't always get the chance to all be in the same place.

Days like this are a great opportunity to learn from each other, share knowledge and grow together as a team. The more we learn, the better support we can give to our communities.

You can find information about all the amazing support we offer here: www.headsupleicester.org.uk/get-support

A big thank you to our fantastic team for everything they do every day! 💚🫶🧡
