🎉✨ Celebrating 20 amazing years! ✨🎉

This week we celebrated a very special milestone, Cathy’s 20 years with FLL! ❤️

On Monday, we enjoyed a beautiful morning tea together at the centre and celebrated Cathy with a special gift to mark this incredible achievement. 🎁

Over the past 20 years, Cathy has created so many beautiful connections, built lasting relationships and been part of the journey of so many generations of families. From little ones taking their first steps through our doors to watching them grow and return with families of their own, Cathy has been a familiar and much-loved part of so many lives. 🥰

We are creating a special keepsake book for Cathy, if any past families of FLL would like to email through to [email protected] a little messsge, favourite memory or congratulations we will add to this book.

Twenty years is an incredible achievement and we are so grateful for the care, dedication and memories Cathy has shared along the way.

💖 Congratulations, Cathy, on 20 wonderful years with FLL! Here’s to celebrating you and all the families whose lives you have touched ✨
