Thank you so much to Harvey who has done a very special #70for70 challenge and raised nearly £900 so far for Embrace ☺️ Harvey said: 'I wanted to raise money for Embrace (BDCPS) as they have supported us as a family for many years. It's their 70th birthday this year and it would have been my big brother, Zach's 20th birthday this year as well. Zach passed away when he was 13 and I am 13 now so I wanted to do something to make a difference. I decided to first swim 70 lengths of the 25m pool non stop. I then thought I should do something more so ran 20 laps of the 400m track on a really hot day so that was 8km. Then Mum suggested I try to run 70km so I have been running Park Run (5km) every Saturday at 9am! After being dragged out of bed, I have been running regularly and I have now managed 13 Park Runs so have run over 70km! PB is 21.44!' Message from Alka and Martin, Harvey's parents: 'We are really proud of Harvey that he has managed to both swim and run and has shown commitment every week to this challenge. The 20th birthday of Park Run was on Zach's 20th birthday so it felt right! Embrace are a fantastic charity that help many children and their families in our local area including our own. We know times are tough and you may have donated to other charities and also saving for Christmas. If you can give something to support Harvey and his challenge and to help children with disabilities be able to embrace life's opportunities more, that would be really appreciated. Thank you so much for your support.'

A big thank you to Vincent who is one of our DofE volunteers who wrote and posted 102 Christmas cards to our families 🎄🔔 Vincent found us through CVS Bedfordshire and is just one of a number of volunteers writing our cards this year👏 #volunteering #DofE #christmascards2024

What did you get up to last week? Under the expert guidance of Hannah & Zanna from Rosehip Bespoke Floristry, we created beautiful wreaths at our latest Parent Carers Workshop, that will hang pride of place on our doors. We were also very grateful to the Transfiguration Church in Kempston for offering the use of their venue for the workshop. These sessions are vital for parent carers giving them a space to enjoy an activity, take some time out but also be supported with conversation with those in the same situation. #parentcarersupport #parentcarerworkshop #wellbeingsupport #craftworkshop
