Thank you Grassroots Grants for supporting our toy library with a grant towards core costs. Other charities will also benefit, as Wales and West donated a matched amount for Grassroots to invest (see photos page). The income will be used to fund other groups now and indefinitely for generations to follow. What a great idea!

Great fun was had by both children and parents at the Respect Festival! We also raised a grand total of £146 from our tombola and name the teddy stalls towards running costs of Merry Go Round. Many thanks to our team of volunteers for all their help - have a look on the photos page to see them and the children in action!
