Next Support Group Meeting

The next support group meeting will be held on Sunday 21st August at Riverside Pavillion, Candy Street, Woodston, PE2 9RE from 5pm-7pm.

Big Thanks to Chloe Jackson, Paul Hance & Henry Hance

For Henry's christening Chloe and Paul asked people to make a donation to Peterborough Sands rather than buy presents.  A total of £50 was raised which paid for a new mobile phone for the group as well as adding to our fund for precious memory boxes.  A truly selfless act for which we are really thankful.

Fundraising at the Green Backyard

We have a cake/biscuit stall at the monthly craft fairs held at the Green Backyard (which is a community growing project please see website: http://www.thegreenbackyard.com/  ).  If you would like to contribute with some home baking or simply want to pop along to have a chat and buy something sweet then we'd love to see you.

The Green Backyard is located on the corner of London Road and Oundle Road, opposite the Peterborough United football ground. It is approximately 10 minutes by foot from the city centre.  It is also next to KFC and the Apex flats.  It's a very peaceful space with lots growing, chickens and rabbits and a lot of interesting projects to wander round and look at. About the craft fairs: expect beautiful traditional and very non-traditional items ranging from jewellery, wood carving, homemade beauty products, jams and cakes to pottery, fabrics, felt and rude cross stitches, you won't find any of this stuff in Queensgate!! Hot drinks and delicious home cooked food will be on sale all day.

Dates for the next craft fairs (which start at 10am and end at 4pm) are:

14th August
11th September
9th October
