🚨 Adoption Support Fund 🚨

Currently in the UK the government offers therapeutic support to adopted and special guardianship children and their families across the UK.

However, in 11 days THIS IS DUE TO END as the government have not yet released funds for this support to continue.

I don't think this is the right forum for discussing what affects this will have but I cannot stress enough how unethical and damaging this lack of planning and funding is.

If you have time I would be so grateful if you could follow this link which allows letters to be sent to MPs to bring awareness of the situation and hopefully put pressure on the government to address the issue.

Thank you

The government has yet to announce its commitment to the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund (ASGSF). The Fund was set up to provide funding for therapeutic support in England and has transformed thousands of lives. Help us secure an announcement about the future of the fund.

Over half term I will be moving Applebay Play into its new home at Brinkworth House.

I don't think it matters how old you are, change can always feel a little scary but I'm also excited for donkey friends and free parking!!

Anxiety is such a creative emotion just think what else those creative skills can do when it's redirected 👌

Pirate ships, rainbows, conquering fear of rollercoasters (but not people dressed up) and lush time spent with family.

Somehow I didn't buy any new disney toys for the already full playroom but looking forward to getting back there on Monday 👌
