Doveridge Fundraiser!
Our recent sports day fundraiser total exceeded the amount we expected to raise. This meant we were able to purchase extra gifts of a sensory lamp and sweets for the local play group. Here Bex, one of our Activities Co-ordinators, is presenting the digital camera and sensory lamp to the playgroup leader, Kate.

Burns night

Soap making
We raised the bar with sessions on how to make our own soap. The scents of roses and lavender brought back wonderful memories during the activity which saw a variety of soaps being made.
