Have you seen the post over on St Stephen’s Church page?

There is a collection box for good condition reading books to go towards Keep Colchester Reading book appeal.

If any of our Chill Out Families have books they would like to donate then please bring in and let us know and we can add to the box!

We are proudly supporting Keep Colchester Reading again this Christmas and welcome you to bring in and donate your unwanted books for this scheme.

Good condition books only please.

(Children’s/teens/young adult/adult fiction books all welcome-
No recipe or gardening books)

Also if anyone has any Christmas wrapping paper that they would also be able to donate for the scheme then please do drop it in to the church / the office.

The crate will be here ready in the corner of the foyer for more donations to be added to it.

Thank you for helping us support this very important scheme!

Did you know….

The children ever afternoon are given the chance to have a snack to refuel their energy levels after a busy school day!
Sometimes there will be fruits and other items to choose; always ensuring that we cater to dietary requirements.

Did you know…..

If you’re are a parent whose child we collect / drop off to school there’s an app specifically for you to use!

Check on here for details, photos and updates of things the children are getting up to whilst they’re with us in the setting! (Isn’t it great to be a fly on the wall sometimes?!)
