Summer Fun at Sedbergh
Summer Scheme
The
Safety First Activity Scheme is now in full flow and will run until Friday 19th
August. This Ofsted registered scheme runs
annually at the Sedbergh Centre and is always exceptionally popular so it’s a
good idea to book early. Lots of children between 5 – 11 years or up to age 18
years if a disability or learning difficulty is present will enjoy many
different fun activities. Some of the centre’s usual sessions have been closed
while the scheme is running and re-opening details can be found in the ‘What’s
On’ column opposite.
Beach Party
July was a
fun month at the Sedbergh Centre when we celebrated with a beach party at our
sessions including the Carers’café, Young at Heart group and Parent &
Toddlers. Our clients had mocktails, Knickerbocker Glories and took part in
some games, crafts and activities. Our toddlers played on the beach, decorated
biscuits and enjoyed a picnic before breaking up for the summer!
Summer Fayre
Our Summer
Fayre on the 16th July went really well and we raised a whopping £961 for the
centre so we can continue to provide the services and resources you, our local
community enjoy. As a registered charity every penny does count and we
appreciate all the help, support and donations from our volunteers and
sponsors.
On the day
we had a number of stalls selling summer goodies and had plenty of activities
that lots of people enjoyed. Our bumper raffle was drawn at the end of the
event and we still have two unclaimed prizes for winning ticket numbers 69 and
97.
