Can you help? 🛠️

Our friends at Little Disciples Childcare are looking for a few volunteers to help with a DIY project on the school grounds.

They need some helping hands to rebuild a dismantled shed and reinforce and level the existing base before it goes back up. Whether you’re handy with DIY or just happy to lend a hand, your help would be hugely appreciated! 💪

🥓 As a thank you, there’ll provide bacon sandwiches and plenty of tea!

If you can help, please get in touch directly with Little Disciples Childcare by emailing [email protected].

Thank you! 😊
