We are currently starting to plan some school holiday activities for our children and young people. Details are sketchy at this time however we need some inspiration from you. The plan is to run a series (likely 3) mornings of fun, games and activities for 5-11 year olds and a separate 0-5 year old session. If you would be willing to be a helper for one or all of the sessions which will last a maximum of 2 hours please let me know. Also do you have contacts for fun activities for children to do- large size games, bouncy castle, unusual sports and visiting animals? At this stage anything and everything can be considered but we do have limited budgets so are looking at creative ideas- please talk to me if you have any ideas or contacts regardless of how unusual. Thank you, Jess. [email protected] God bless, John and the Christ Church Team.
