We’re still on a high from all the fun we had with so many of you at our Family Party on Sunday!
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us - it was wonderful to see so many families come together and celebrate as part of our amazing DS Achieve community.
The Jersey Farm Community Centre was the perfect venue for an afternoon packed with activities for all ages. Here’s a look at what we got up to:
soft play for little ones to enjoy
a dedicated quiet room for those needing a break from the excitement of the main room
crafts galore - scratch art, colouring and animal mask decorating
an activity zone featuring giant Connect 4, Ball in the Bucket, Frisbee Challenge, Monkey Mayhem, Ring Toss, and Table Football
a ‘selfie’ spot with fun props and an Instagram frame
a raffle with a fantastic hamper prize, generously donated by Scott and Emma Vaughan, and won by Nikki and family
guessing competitions:
number of sweets in the jar, won by Lisa
teddy bear’s name (Lucy), won by Jo
the refreshments station with squash and snacks, plus hot drinks from the Blue Tangerine Horsebox Café, which provides young people with SEND employability skills and experience
A special shout-out to the incredibly talented professional photographer, Stephanie Belton, who generously donated her time and skills to capture the fun, laughter and family moments of the day. Be sure to check our her amazing photos!
A massive THANK YOU to the fantastic volunteer team without whom this event wouldn’t have been possible: Alhaam, Ariella, Charlie, Charlotte N, Cole, Helena, Kambiz, Jake, Lisa, and Max - thank you for all your hard work and enthusiasm!
