Thank you so much for all your patience and support the later half of this year, without which i probably wouldnt still have a business! I see and appreciate every one of you!

Everyone welcome - we had brilliant fun with these sessions last year and the absolute bonus is they are completely free! With a free hot drink for adults attending with children, lots to use on the letter writing table and a fab grotto x

Just a day to go before our first trial of an afterschool session. Please do share and encourage those you know to attend. I have had a sneak peek of the grotto at Project C**t and it is beyond amazing. So join two equipped4learning elves, a letter writing/ craft table and Santa on Thursday 🎄🧑🏻‍🎄🎅

It’s National ! �

Last week, we marked , recognising the vital contribution of occupational therapists across the UK.

Now, we’re celebrating how OTs make a difference every day - helping people recover, adapt and live independently. From rehabilitation and mental health support to helping children and older adults thrive, their work touches every part of life.

Thank you to every OT for your continued commitment to safe and effective care. �
