We stopped in on Thursday to drop off some donations of children’s books to Read with me, and to see the activities the children were doing.

Read with me have been at events in Gloucestershire all summer. In Podsmead they have been at The Club at Tuffley Park.

The Club are taking part in the family food packs, as are Podsmead Big Local who have activity days and food available on Scott Avenue. Check the various Facebook pages for full details. The initiatives are funded by the county council and it is great to see the work being done to keep families entertained and fed over the summer holidays. My thanks to everyone giving up their time for these worthwhile causes.
