French Squared

It is with regret that we have to announce that French Squared has had to terminate its operations in the West Midlands.

We would like to thank all our staff, volunteers, service users, partners and families for all your support over the past 6 years and we would wish you all the best for the future.

With love,

French squared team.

Another fabulous scheme, unfortunately this was the last one. It's been a hard few weeks saying good bye to all the kids we have work with over the years and their families! You have all supported us as much as you feel we have supported you! We have been very lucky to have had the chance to do what we do with such incredible families!!

Behind every successful club is an amazing team, I couldn't have asked for a better group of people. Also a BIG THANK YOU to all the volunteers that have given their time to us and everyone who has shown us support.

We couldn't have done this without you all. So from the bottom of my heart I wish you all the best for the future and fingers crossed we are able to pull things together and see you all soon!

Stay posted we will keep you updated on what our current and future plans are!

💙💙

Who's ready for day 2 of the holiday clubs tomorrow? Area plans all ready to go we looking forward to see all the children but sad it all coming to an end soon! NOT until we have a Halloween farewell party for our amazing children and their families but also the staff and volunteers who have helped to keep the clubs running over the years!

We hope to see all the families we have had the privilege to work with tomorrow 3:30 - 5:30 💕
