A wonderful meet up in the park. Joy is an act of resistance. Well done Magpie mamas for organising for and with each other while staff take a break. Thank you @52lives for sponsoring our park meet ups this summer.

Thank you 52 Lives for making sure that these moments of togetherness, sunshine, bubbles, jollof, pizza, biscuits and joy have been such a success.

So proud to announce that our School of Kindness is one of 6 UK projects to be chosen to receive a grant from Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation. It will mean we can expand our work even further and reach thousands more children.

A huge thank you to 52 Lives for generously sponsoring the beautiful calendars included in this year’s gift bags for all our guests! 🎁 These little treasures are a small reminder of the joy and connection we aim to share together this season. #CCT2024 #Thame #CommunityChristmas
