April 18th -
We held our Easter party this year in our teaching room at Leeds Beckett University, swapping grammar for games and books for biscuits! Party snacks included hot cross buns and Simnel cake, which is traditionally eaten at Easter time, and we had fun decorating Easter biscuits in the shapes of eggs, rabbits and chicks…
As part of the evening we also played ‘The Chocolate Game’. Whoever rolls a six has to put on hat scarf and gloves and eat as much of the chocolate Easter egg as possible using just a knife and fork. When someone else in the group rolls a six their chance is over and they give their accessories to the new person….
We’re thrilled to welcome the latest additions to our team, Tabitha, Papaya and Josiah, our Graduate Interns, and Helen, the latest member of our cookery team. We can’t wait for them to showcase their experience, expertise and enthusiasm! Let’s get to know them a little better…
“Before this group, I felt like a nobody. Now I feel like somebody.” This was the answer 8-year-old Evie gave when asked about the difference our Activity-Based Mentoring Group had made for her. This sums up for us why we do what we do. Everyone deserves to know that they matter, whatever their circumstances and challenges.
We are immensely grateful to everyone who has contributed to our slow cooker appeal.
What a great term it has been at FFL! We have been busy delivering our various groups and programmes around Leeds. Our families have loved coming along to the groups and have benefitted hugely from the activities and support from the FFL team.
