This will be the first of out fortnightly cricket sessions for young people aged 12 – 25, and will be held on 26th May at St Chad’s Cricket Club in Headingley. We have 10 places available for each session and we are aiming to have 3 or 4 support staff from Sunshine & Smiles so that young people can take part independently of parents and carers if we have sufficient support in place for the young people attending. We will send out a consent form for more information from you once places have been booked so we can plan for each session. The sessions are being coached by a qualified Yorkshire Cricket Board coach. We do need people to book onto the sessions in advance so that we can plan support & staffing needed and so that we know who we are expecting to attend. The booking form is here and it is now live for bookings. Please email ailith@sunshineandsmiles.org.uk if you have any questions.

Smilers and Youth for ages 8-18 meets every other Saturday morning at 10.30 – 11:30. You can book onto the session here– there is the option to donate when booking but absolutely no pressure to do so. Katie Aynsley, who facilitates the sessions, has experience of working with children, young people, and adults with disabilities. She has volunteered, assisted, and taught a wide range of accessible and inclusive dance sessions within the community. She is now the academy dance tutor for Mind the Gap theatre company in Bradford and a dance support worker for Mesh Dance an inclusive youth dance company in Leeds. Katie is also a support worker providing support in the community for families and young people with additional needs. Feel free to bring a snack or lunch for after the session. Siblings are very welcome too. Bookings will close at 4pm on Saturday and please remember to cancel your place if you can no longer attend. Enjoy!

Come along to Football World Leeds from 10am to 11am, and join two coaches, Simon & Mark for our Junior FC session for ages 7 to 16-years-old.

Join us for a relaxing evening at Caballero Lounge, brought to you by Little Hiccups in collaboration with Caballero Lounge. This event is designed to give parents and carers a well-deserved night off. Enjoy a friendly atmosphere, great company, and delicious food. Caballero Lounge is in the The Springs shopping centre, just off junction 46 on the M1 in the east of Leeds. There’s a lovely outside terrace running all along the front and the handsome green tiled entrance leads through to our big, light and airy space inside. Among the rich wallpaper, wood panelling and comfy chairs there’s board games, a book swap, toys for the kids, and doggy refreshments – everyone is very welcome!
