A huge thank you to everyone at Langley Green Primary School! Amazing donation to our partners Free Shop Crawley!

It was brilliant to be part of Free Shop Crawley's Mother's Day event yesterday and having Woodard Photography there to capture some beautiful keepsake images was such a bonus! Thank you so much Linda for looking after everyone so brilliantly! These images are wonderful!

I had such a great day today, spending time with the amazing Free Shop Crawley gang and Lucy from LPK Learning CIC whilst meeting lots of wonderful mums and their children (oh, and a dad too 🙂).

Our community has really come together to make sure these children had lots of lovely gifts to chose from to give to their mums tomorrow. There were even gift wrapping stations and some extra sweets, tea, coffee and biscuits too! Thank you to each and every one of you who made this possible 🥰

This is just a few of the many, many photos I took today and I will be sending each mum a free digital image as a keepsake❤️

Have a lovely evening and I hope you all enjoy tomorrow❣️

What a wonderful day with Free Shop Crawley yesterday. It was meant to be like a Christmas party and that is exactly what it was! I know how incredibly hard Laura-Jane and the volunteers worked behind the scenes to make it happen and it was wonderful to see so many families enjoying themselves when it all came together.

Connecting with Free Shop this year has been absolutely brilliant. We are so proud to be Free Shop's learning partner and it has been an honour and a privilege to work so closely with Laura-Jane, the Free Shop team and of course all of the wonderful customers who have made it so special.

Happy Christmas! See you in 2023!
