Lyneham: New Little Lights faith-filled fun for 0-5 yr olds in MOD Lyneham Community Centre

 

Welcome to Little Lights!

Each session will last an hour and begins with lively songs and rhymes to get everyone joining in, followed by a short and engaging Bible story with the help of pictures, props, or actions.

After the story, children can take part in a fun craft, giving them a chance to be creative and explore the story in their own way. The session finishes with snacks for the children and refreshments for the adults, plus free time to chat and get to know one another!

Little Lights provides a relaxed and friendly environment where families can explore & grow in faith together while little ones learn, play, and thrive. Whether you’re a family with lots of faith, no faith or are somewhere in-between, everyone is welcome.

The group meets at MOD Lyneham Community Centre, Calne Rd, Lyneham, Chippenham SN15 4XX at 10am on:

• Friday 26th September
• Friday 10th October
• Friday 24th October

Gloucestershire: 'On Your Mind' mental health service for children and young people

 

On Your Mind Glos is a place for Children and Young People to turn to when you need help and support with your mental health but you aren’t sure where to go. They have an anonymous Mental Health Support Finder, which is also available via text, for anyone aged 0-25 that will help you find the most appropriate support options for you in Gloucestershire.

Young people, parents/carers or professionals working with young people can use the support finder but also look through the database of quality controlled mental health services contained within our List of Services Directory.

On Your Mind Glos also has some self help guides and resources designed for both young people and their families to provide general support and advice about self-care.

Sandhurst: Military Co-Working Book Your Desk

 

Working from home is amazing, until you realise you've not actually left the house in 3 days and might have forgotten how to speak to real life people rather than those inside your computer...

Our coworking hubs are fantastic for helping to break this cycle, get you out of the house, making connections with other local military partners and spouses and giving you a good separation between work and home. 

And for just £30 per YEAR, the value is fantastic!

So if you're already a member, book that desk for this week and come join us in your Sandhurst Military Coworking Hub, and if you're not a member yet - why not?
