Hi there,


I advertised this playgroup at Goose Green Centre a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, I am returning to work on the 25th June, and no one has volunteered to take over.


This is an NCT group which relies on volunteers to keep these important clubs going. As a new mum, I found the group a lifesaver! I met friends and they gave me the confidence to get out and about with my baby.


Taking over the group is not a lot of responsibility. All you need to do is get out the toys and coffee bits, and clear up at the end (there are always others to help put away!)


The group runs 10-12am every Monday the church is open.


If you, or a bunch of friends, think you can help, please reply to this post or message me directly. It would be such a shame for yet another club to disappear.

Hi!! Yes, there were a couple of other ladies who would be willing to help, I'm sure! That would be great to keep it going. Basically, all you have to do is get thd mats and toys out of the cupboard, and the tea and coffee bits from the kitchen. There's always people about at thd end to help clear up, and if you can't make a week someone will help. I'll show you the ropes on Monday. Thank you so much! I'll probably be popping back over the summer, but can't commit to setting up anymore as I do have to work during the holidays at some point. As the group is held on a Monday, the centre is closed on bank holidays and religious festival weeks, plus I think it closes during August too. I'll check Monday.


Thanks again!


Lu

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
