After a long old journey by boat our barrels of donated books have arrived to the spice island of Grenada. Thanks to Deb Eastwood the books have been distributed between schools in need for many children to enjoy. We have been sending books every three months for almost five years now and they are always much appreciated.
Next week we will fill the Christmas barrels for @Grenada Gncd with presents and treats for the children on their big day.
Thank you to everyone who has donated. ♻️❤️♻️
Check this out! What a great half term activity! Pop by for some plastic house ‘shells’ today!
Thank you Nkechi Oba for giving us your time to dress our shop window in celebration of Black History Month 2020
The first of 140 new toys, that you have all donated over the year, have been given to the children over at Akwaaba as Christmas gifts. If your children have any unwanted and unused gifts they’d like to part with we would love them! Here comes Christmas!
Akwaaba is a Hackney-based social centre for migrants. They offer a space for rest, play, learning and mutual support. Akwaaba is for all migrants regardless of immigration status, ‘race’, religion, country of origin, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and (dis)ability.
They believe that no-one is illegal and are committed to actively opposing racism and all other forms of discrimination and oppression.
Their aim is to build community and foster care, cooperation and solidarity. As a community, they try to make decisions collectively and give all members an equal say in how the social centre is run. Akwaaba is a volunteer-run space.
LEGO CLUB NEWS
Great news for parents!!!!!!
Islington Council have told us that due to the latest Covid19 research we are now not allowed to let adults stay with their children for LEGO club. This means it is now a 'drop off' session running between 10.30 and 12.30 on Saturdays at Hargrave Hall Community Centre. The session is, as always, FREE.
If your child is over 6 they are welcome!
We can now offer you two hours alone time while we entertain your little darlings with LEGO!
We always love receiving photos of the children enjoying the toys that we give. Most of the time we are unable to share the photos with you as they are of children living in very difficult situations and it certainly would not be appropriate to photograph or share. We give hundreds of toys a week and this week has been no different. Here are some of the nursery class at Stroud Green enjoying their dolls house. The teacher made some fantastic figures for the children to play with. She created ‘block’ figures with photos of each child on each block. fantastic idea!!
It’s people like Francis that make us proud to be part of such a vibrant community. Last week this fabulous hairdresser took home some of our Barbies and gave them a much needed spa treatment. He gave us a great tip too . . . hair Scrunchies make great Barbie dresses. Who knew?
Who loves LEGO?
Exactly. Everyone! Please consider donating to support our LEGO based therapy for children with social communication needs. Every little bit helps. Thank you x
