Looking for somewhere to take your little people on a Wednesday morning 10-11:30am ?

EVERY WEDNESDAY 10-11.30am.

We have the answer! A playgroup held inside the residents lounge at Robinwood Lodge on Gamesley! The room is a fantastic size, with lots of toys for a variety of ages!

Come and meet other mums, dads, grandparents, babies, toddlers and children as well as the residents who live at Robinwood lodge. This group enables your little one to mix with older people and breaks down the social barriers and tackles isolation for the older residents - mixing with you and your little ones really does make them happy!

We always have a brew, biscuits, cake and lots of laughter so why not come and give us a try.

We charge £3.00 for one child and one adult with refreshments but any additional children are £2.50 or knock 50p off if you don’t want brews or cake.

We are a super friendly group with lovely children and a very relaxed vibe and we would love to keep this group running but we need more people to attend so please share the word and let’s get this playgroup lovely and busy 🧸

There is so much more to grief than crying.

Grief is complex, changing and incredibly personal. There can be so much happening when we're grieving, a lot of which goes unseen.

If you need support, we're here 💜
