We had an absolute blast on Sunday at our family get together!

Thank you to everyone who joined - it was great to catch up with so many of the families we work with and to be able to bring everyone together for some festive cheer.

The Hilltop Community Centre thankfully offers a great space, so we were able to pack in lots for everyone to enjoy:

soft play and a sensory area
a crafts area to make reindeer food and decorate gingerbread men
an activity area with giant Connect 4, Ball in the Bucket, Ring the Bull and Splat the Rat games
a ‘selfie’ area with Instagram frame and lots of props
the dance floor, complete with disco ball and festive pop playlist, played at a low sound level
the refreshments station with squash and treats, where members of our team served tea, coffee and hot choc (with marshmallows!) to parents

We were incredibly lucky to have professional photographer, Stephanie Belton, capturing the fun and special family moments. Check out her brilliant photos of the event to see what we got up to.

We’d like to say a HUGE thanks to the team that made it happen:

the brilliant volunteer team on the day: Ariella, Charlotte N, Teresa, Jake, Charlotte B and Max
and an even more ENORMOUS thanks to Jo Walker, our wonder Events Coordinator, for planning, organising, project managing and delivering the event. It wouldn’t have happened without Jo, and we are now worried about how high she has raised our standards for social events. You can never leave now, Jo!

We want to acknowledge and thank Hertfordshire County Council for their funding contribution towards the event. It was very much appreciated.

If there is anyone we don’t see beforehand, we hope you have a wonderful Christmas.
