Soooooo - it’s been a while and we are back momentarily with an update
It’s sad news we’re afraid 😔
Emma, myself and our families have had to make the tough decision to no longer run ‘the GROUP’
We started ‘the GROUP’ from scratch - it grew and grew and grew and ran for just over 6 wonderful years - we had tremendous support from our families, friends and the community around us 🥰
We had THE best time , we helped many families feel less isolated, we danced, we cooked, we planted, we laughed, we cried, we stroked spiders and skunks, we had breakfast with Santa, we stuffed our faces, we water skied - we won awards !!! 😌
We raised funds , our volunteers raised funds - even going as far as jumping from a plane and whipping off their eyebrows !!!
We witnessed incredible young people change before our eyes 🥰
Sooooo many fabulous memories and life time friends made ❤️
We have some ‘funds’ left in ‘the GROUP’ account, rest assured as per our ‘Constitution’ any funds left in our account have and will be donated to similar local causes ❤️
Lastly as parents of young people with disabilities one important thing we would like pass on to any parent / carer at the beginning of their ‘journey’ is to join a ‘support group’ - it really is THE best thing you will ever do for yourself , your disabled child and their siblings - never under estimate the value of meeting others in a similar position ❤️
Take care ‘out there’
With love Sam,Emma, Kelvin, Jay, Rosie, George , Lili and Fin ❤️
