What a team - Master Clark, Jess Clark, Sarah Frances Dickinson Natasha Barry. We have walked 327. 55 km's between us !!!! which is the equivalent of approx. 7 marathons !! AND.. we have raised £345 between the 4 of us. We still have a week to go to raise money for Crohn's & Colitis UK and I know that Master Clark is on track to walk the equivalent of 4 Marathons 🙌 what an amazing achievement.

Our fundraising target was to hit £250, but we would love it if we could hit £500 for the charity, so we asking you to dig deep and see if you could spare a few pounds to support a charity that supports those that suffer from the disease.
Living with Crohn’s & Colitis isn’t just a “tummy issue”. It’s fatigue that hits before the day even starts. It’s constant pain, flare‑ups, meds that help but come with their own battles, and learning to smile even when the body feels broken.
That's why its important to support charities like this.
Thank you

This June, we're taking on the My WALK IT challenge to support Crohn’s & Colitis UK, a cause that really matters to us. Over 500,000 people in the UK live with Crohn’s or Colitis, and too many face these lifelong conditions without enough understanding or support. Every donation, big or small, h...

🌟 Celebrating the Small Wins That Shape Big Futures 🌟

This week we got to celebrate two of our Little Warriors.. and not for kicking the highest or shouting the loudest, but for something far more important.

They earned certificates for respect, focus, and communication.
Skills that will carry them through school, friendships, and life.

Pre‑schoolers are not too young to start learning these things.
In fact, this is the perfect age.
Their little minds are open, curious, and ready to grow and when we celebrate their achievements, it teaches them:

• “My effort matters.”
• “People notice when I try.”
• “Respect and listening are important.”
• “I can do hard things.”

These two amazing Little Warriors have shown exactly that.
They’ve listened, tried, practised, and shown kindness and this week, they got to stand tall and be recognised for it. 🙌🫶

Well done, Little Warriors.
We are so proud of you. 💛🥋
If you have a pre-schooler at home, aged 2+ and have time on a Tuesday at 10am, Thursdays at 2pm or Saturdays at 08.45, give us a call on 07846115776 to reserve a space to join these 2 superstars
