Everyone had a fabulous time recently at our spring half term residential event at the Wingate Children's Centre, Wrenbury. Held over four days in May, our members across the age range enjoyed loads of fun and engaging activities including nature trails, arts and crafts, dance and drama sessions and lots of free time in the wonderful adventure playground and open outdoor spaces of the centre. Of course, for some it was an opportunity to spend a first night away from home which was both exhilarating and just a little bit nerve-wracking but everyone threw themselves into the experience and gave 100%! A huge thank you must go to everyone who supported this activity, including a small but dedicated army of volunteers - we couldn't have done it without you all!!
