May 5, 2017 @ 9:00 am - May 7, 2017 @ 5:00 pm

Join us for our final bag packing event as Sainsbury Hazel Grove store’s charity of the year!

We will be busy packing shoppers bags on Friday 5th, from 9am until 5pm, Saturday 6th from 9am until 5pm, and on Sunday 7th May from 10.30am to 4.30pm. We are hoping to make this our best bag packing event yet!

If you would like to get involved over the weekend and would like to join us for an afternoon or even if you are able to spare just an hour of your day, please do get in touch as we are very much in need of volunteers for this event.

Isla's Story

Isla is three and a half years old and has been coming to the Children and Family Centre for around two years with her family.

At first Isla had no diagnosis, but it was clear to her parents that something was different from an early age as she had a short attention span and would have regular crises if other children came near her. Her speech was also delayed and she didn’t speak or make any verbal noises until the age of three.

By coming to The Centre, play around other children was normalised for Isla as she began to get used to other children being around and she loves coming to The Centre now. She enjoys the freedom to play in the garden or inside with the toys and crafts. Isla responds well to the staff and volunteers at The Centre and is confident to ask for help.

“Isla has speech and language delay but one of the first words Isla spoke was when she shouted “Messy Play!”, so we knew then how vital it was for her to come here.”
