Teddy Bear’s Picnic
Last month we held a Teddy Bear’s Picnic for our Toddlers Stay and Play group with the help of a team of volunteers from M&S in Birstall. The day was a ROAR-ing success as we celebrated in the sun with a delicious bear buffet, story-time and a teddy bear’s parade! A big THANKS to M&S and to everyone who attended and supported us.
Sedbergh Community BBQ
Our Community BBQ was a great success last month when people from the local area joined us for some great food and conversation. The gathering was part of The Great Get Together initiative which is inspired by Jo Cox and encourages people all over the country to celebrate the things we have in common. As well as good food there was a raffle, quiz, Bingo and colouring for our younger clients. We would like to thank Bradford Council for funding the food, our volunteers on the day and everyone who came along to take part.
Sport England Funds New Roof
We are delighted to announce that we now have a brand new roof over our gymnasium thanks to funding from Sport England. The exceptional roof work was carried out by Morgan Roofing over the last few weeks. Thank you Sport England and Morgan Roofing!
Alvina Strikes Bronze for England!
Our very own boxing champ, Alvina Razak, won a bronze medal at the Great Britain Tri-Nations Boxing Championships last month! We are very proud of our girl who is the first female to ever box for England from Bradford. We can’t wait to see what you will do next Alvina.
Youth Club Activities
Last month the Youth Club members made their very own grass heads from stockings, seeds and funny faces! Children had fun filling stockings with compost and seeds before decorating them with wiggly eyes and big smiles. Children aged 6-13 years can join our Youth Club by calling in and completing a registration form with their parents/carers. The Sedbergh Centre Youth Club takes place on Tuesdays from 5.30 – 8.30 p.m. every week. New members are always welcome – please call 01274 679843 for more details.
