As part of Zinco Lounge 's fundraising for Mixtup as part of their Lounge Aid month, this Saturday 6th June they have a Kid's Cupcake Decoration Station! Please pop along, especially if you have kids who like decorating cupcakes 😁 🧁🎨☕️

Also - the Quiz Night is coming up soon! (16th June) Bring along a team, but also - if you have knowledge of modern music, tv, social media etc please come and join Jo's team as she knows nothing outside of the 1980's. 😎😉

Let's not forget the Bake Sale on the 27th! ( contributions of cakes welcome :D)

We love Zinco, not just because they have chosen us ( other cafes are available ;) ) - we can often be found in there for mini meets/catch ups with young people - the soft drinks menu is far more exciting than our office - and the fantastic staff there look after us so well.

Sometimes there's more to film club than just watching a movie :)

Yesterday we braved the heat and visited the Brecon Mountain Railway. It was AWESOME! The views were stunning, the train was fascinating and most of all the company was wonderful, as always.
It was lovely to have so many members (including some newbies) come along and spend the afternoon with us, all together. Everyone coped tremendously well with the heat, which was impressive as it was HOT. We felt very looked after by the staff team there and had such a fab time.
Thank you *so much* to Benefact Group for funding this, and BikeAbility Wales who nominated us for the funding, and thank you to everyone who came for making it such a memorable day! 🤩🕶️🌲🌳🌞🍦🚂

Some of you might have noticed that we have two new sparkling volunteers - we'd like to give them both a very warm welcome.

First up we have Bruno, who's interesting fact is that - whilst working in Hong Kong - he met and chatted to Jackie Chan, when he was an extra in one of his films! We also happen to know that was in the same room as Mohammed Ali at a fancy event ....we are yet to find out whether he has picked up any fighting tips from either of these greats ;) 😎🤛🫶🧑‍🎤Luckily for us he's a very peaceful fella :)

Next we have a more familiar face, who is ex Mixtup member Ruairi! We are delighted to have him back, especially Jan, as Ruairi is an expert at setting up the Switch ;) Ruairi's fact is that he has been to New Zealand five times, twice travelling there on his own. We also know that Ruairi has an expert standard knowledge of the London railway/underground system! 🌍🚄🚈✈️😎

We are delighted to have them both on board 🤩🫶💫🌟

We are *very* (very) grateful to have been included in the Benefact Group's initiative. It was a most marvellous surprise to hear that they were supporting us with a £2,000 grant - much needed and it will be greatly valued by us all at Mixtup. Thank you to our dear friends at the amazing BikeAbility Wales for paying it forward to us, and we know that some of our other dear friends at CIRCUS ERUPTION are over the moon for us to pay it forward to them!

Generosities such as these make such a huge difference to small charities and the extra magic that they can bring to our provision.
