Gardening with ACS
We are so so proud of our youth group, thank you all! Yesterday they showed great determination with helping Ainsdale Civic Society in their newest community gardening project.
From digging up those pesky weeds to finding all sorts of treasures, they really put the effort into it.
If you are passing Ainsdale train station and see the volunteers hard at work be sure to let them know how much you appreciate their efforts.
Thank you ACS for being great hosts, hope to be back helping you all soon!
Mindful Journeys – Chocolate Whirled
What a *sweet* day! 
Our adults-only Chocolate Whirled trip today was an absolute blast! From rich, velvety tastings to learning the art of chocolate-making, it was a delicious experience from start to finish. 
Everyone indulged in their favourite treats, made some amazing new friends, and, of course, enjoyed a little break from the everyday hustle.
