Autumn Term Updates

Fundraising for the Food Bank at Christmas

Saphia’s doing her fundraiser for the food bank for the 4th year in a row. She pledged to complete 1000 jumping jacks and 250 in exchange for sponsorship, and has so far raised £418 this year! 

This is a fabulous commitment to a worthwhile cause. If you are able to contribute to her Just Giving page the link is below, or please drop any change you may have into the pot at the office hatch - every little helps.

Could you foster? 

At Nexus Fostering based in Lolworth, we’re looking for local people like you to become foster carers. By providing a loving and stable home environment, you can support the increasing number of children and young people in the local area who cannot live in their family homes. Not all children require long-term care. We also need foster carers for short-term placements, respite care, and to provide temporary homes to support young parents and their babies. So, if you have a spare room and are ready to change lives, please give us a call on 01223 903 503 or email Leanne on leannea@nexusfostering.co.uk.
