Breakfast Club – youth session

April 4, 2024April 4, 2024 Elle Marshall

During the school holidays we aim to host breakfast clubs. This gives the young people a chance to…set an alarm…and start the day with a scrumptious breakfast.

As breakfast is the most important meal of the day, we want to ensure it’s a good one.

Along side all the lovely food we had available, we also played board games.

REPTILE EXPERIENCE

April 4, 2024 Elle Marshall

We want to thank Dylan’s Reptile Time for the amazing informative session for our young people.

We had 14 youths learn about a mixture of different reptiles.

Everyone was really brave and respectful, a lot of young people stepped out of their comfort zones to even handle the reptiles.

Thank you Dylan and the reptile team!
