Family fun at the DS Achieve 5th birthday party!

We’re still buzzing from all the fun we had with so many of you on Sunday at our 5th birthday party!

A massive thank you to everyone who joined us - it was wonderful to see so many of the families we work with and to be able to bring our fabulous community together for a celebration.

The Jersey Farm Community Centre provided the perfect setting for the afternoon, and here’s a glimpse of the fantastic activities we packed in for everyone to enjoy:

  • soft play

  • a separate quieter sensory room

  • crafts galore - from gingerbread decorating to colouring to planting nasturtium seeds in beautifully decorated plant pots

  • an activity zone featuring giant Connect 4, Ball in the Bucket, Ring the Bull and Splat the Rat games and the very popular Inflatable Ring Toss

  • a ‘selfie’ area with Instagram frame and lots of fun props

  • a raffle to win a fantastic hamper of biscuits, kindly donated by Burton's Biscuits

  • the refreshments station with squash and treats, where our team served tea, coffee and hot chocolate (with the all important cream and marshmallows!) to parents

A special shout-out to the talented professional photographer, Stephanie Belton, who captured the fun and family moments with her brilliant photos. Take a look at her incredible shots of the event to see what we got up to.

A colossal THANK YOU to the fantastic volunteer team who helped make it all happen on the day: Alhaam, Ariella, Charlotte N, Giovanna, Helena, and Kambiz.

We would also like to acknowledge and thank an anonymous donor who very kindly provided funds so we could celebrate our 5th birthday with you all. We truly appreciate their generosity.

We'd love to hear your thoughts on the party. Please share your feedback - whether it's your family highlights or suggestions to make our next event even better - in an email to: info@dsachieve.org
