What's on?

A new school term has started and so has our activities at the bounce higher project.

The Family Fun Day on the bank holiday on the 8th of September will have families and children from several different groups all go together to 5 Sisters Zoo, West Calder. We are filling up the minibus and people are also taking their cars to cuddle baby skunks, hold a snake, have fun and get to know each other better.If you are interested please make contact quickly!


The Toddler Group is on from 10AM-11:30AM on Wednesday's in the church hall.
We do not have free spaces at the moment, but please make contact as our waiting list isn't all that long. We would like a volunteer to help out with the toddlers to do some admin work and also help with welcoming new families etc.

The Storytelling Club is on from 4PM- 5PM and we do a minibus run to pick up some of the children who need this. This group is also full, but if you have a child who is interested, please put the name forward for the next session, as this one finishes in September. As our numbers are growing we need volunteers to help run this group, so get in touch for some creative fun with this lively bunch!

The Parenting Workshop we started before the summer holiday will meet to finish the last 4 sessions. It will be possible to join in if you are interested, but a new workshop will be offered from the end of October.

The Messy Play Group is facilitated by Dianne and Catriona and has already started up again. It has free spaces for babies who are 6-24months old and their carers. They play with gloop, pasta and other surprising things and have a snack time together.


We will also gather interest for attending our next 6 session Step Forward Group, which is a peer support group for step families that will work through the From This Step Forward resource from Care For The Family. We running a successful pilot-group last term we would like to offer this one to the wider community, so please help us spread the word!
Another new venture for this autumn is a Bereavement Group for teenagers. Watch this space for further information.

There are also some free spaces for individual work, so if you think this would be helpful for you, give me a call and I can pop through and see you through the week!
