Singing Bunnies have some free funded places for families who live in a DH7 postcode for their Singing Bunnies class which takes place at Ushaw every Friday afternoon 1:15-2pm. The funding is to help families who may not otherwise be able to attend due to financial difficulties or those who would benefit from the social aspects of the group.

There's a bit more information via the leaflet attached but if there are any families that would like to come, please contact the surgery so we can share the email address to book a place.
