Come and Join me, every Monday at Alexandra Bowls , near peasholm.6-8pm

Come along to our creating for good group and get crafting for your community! We get together and create for others. From Twiddlemuffs, Chemo Caps, Remembrance Blankets, Get Well Cards and more.

Everything we make is donated to people in our local community and beyond. It's free to attend and we provide all the materials.

We've moved venue and from Monday, we'll be running weekly instead of fortnightly at the lovely Alexandra Community Sports & Leisure Centre from 6-8pm.

Whether you’re an expert in creativity or a complete beginner, we’ll have a project for you and Anja will guide you through it.

Register online at swrmind.org.uk/upcoming-events or give us a call on 01723 339838. You can just pop along on the day, but if you register, you'll get a reminder and we can let you know of any changes or cancellations!

Mind Games 2025 is here – and your organisation is invited to join the challenge!

On Saturday, 26th July 2025, at Bramcote Athletic Track, Scarborough, local businesses, charities, and community groups will go head-to-head in a series of fun, light-hearted events — all while raising money for the causes that matter most to them.

How it works:
• Local organisations, or the general public, enter a team of 8 to 10 people
• Each team fundraises for a charity of their choice
• Then it’s game on: relays, tug of war, sack races, welly wanging and more!

Fun, friendly competition — all in the name of community spirit and good causes.

So gather your team, get creative with your outfits, and sign up today!

Let the games begin — for a cause you care about.

Register your team at https://swrmind.org.uk/event/mind-games/

Just Remember

The world is full of people who
Would like to see you fail,
But you are strong and brave and true,
So let them all despair.

You are a diamond in the rough,
A gem that's waiting to be found,
So don't give up on yourself,
No matter what they say.

You are beautiful, inside and out,
And you deserve to be loved,
So don't let anyone tell you
That you're not good enough.

You are capable of anything,
So don't set limits on yourself,
Go out and achieve your dreams,
And show the world what you're made of.

You are amazing, unique, and special,
So don't ever forget that,
And always remember,
You are loved.
