HALF TERM ACTIVITIES

I can’t believe it’s the start of October already!

 

Please find attached our October What’s On planner, as well as a weekly breakdown. Below is a link to all of our advertisement posters. A couple of slight changes for this month: 

 
  • Re-Think (Mental Health Drop-In Support) will now join us on the 1st Monday of every month during our CANDI Café opening hours from 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM. If you’re able to signpost anyone to this drop-in support, that would be fantastic. We’re hoping the informal environment of the café will encourage more people to attend. Confidential breakout rooms will also be available if needed.
     
  • Forest Sensory Service will now be joining us on the 3rd Monday of the month during our café opening hours instead of the 1st Monday.
  • Additionally, we’re excited to announce that we’re re-launching our Youth Space in Drybrook at the Methodist Church. We’ve moved from the old space under the Church, to the main hall (still at the same premises). The Youth Club will now run From Tuesday 8th October every Tuesday from 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM, and we’d appreciate it if you could share this with as many young people and families in the area as possible.
     
CANDI Dance is still running in both Drybrook and Cinderford, and we’d be grateful if you could help spread the word about that too. Lastly, due to the great success of our summer holiday family activities, we’ll be running them again during the October half-term.
 
Please find the attached poster for more details.
