The people at Zambezi Express have offered our befriendees and befrienders a great deal for the show next week. You need certain items and more information to prove who you are, so please email Jenny to get this information (this entry is deliberately elusive!).

On this page we try to provide information so that befrienders and befriendees can find interesting things to do in Bristol. Another good website for finding lots of different ideas for things to do is: http://www.goplacesdothings.org.uk/events/. This is particularly good for befrienders who visit on a particular day of the week, because you can view all activities on a specific day.

Although Time2Share doesn’t have any religious affiliations, we thought you might be interested to hear about this inclusive Sunday School (for those of you who would like your children to access a Sunday School).

“The Incredibles” is a Sunday School for special needs children, their siblings and friends. Their website is www.theincredibles.org.uk and it is run by Tim and Terina who are parents of two sons with disabilities. It meets at Hop Skip and Jump on Sundays 10:30 to 12:30 and the parents stay and chat over coffee whilst The Incredibles is going on. This Sunday they are launching The Incredibles Support Group which will enable parents to share their own experiences and hear how other parents have overcome similar life issues. Some of the parents as well as having their own children with special needs, work at Warmley Park School so therefore have a vast experience of working with many different special needs. 

The age of the children ranges from babies to 16yr, however the upper age is flexible for children with special needs. There is no fee or waiting list. Families are welcome to come and join. They are also planning to have a youth group for children 10-16 in place by the time our next newsletter goes out. This will be fortnightly basis on  Saturdays at Hop Skip and Jump running from 5:30 – 7.00pm.

The farm provides an excellent opportunity for people of all ages and backgrounds to learn about farming and to become actively involved in the production of their food. Animals on the farm include a variety of goats, sheep, pigs, cattle and poultry.

They work closely with local schools, taking groups on tours of the farm, explaining about recycling, the environment, animals and how food is produced. Information and worksheets are available, and we can supply fertile eggs and incubators for use in classrooms.

The community gardens are made up of plots where local residents grow their own vegetables, fruit and flowers. There are communal areas with flower gardens and an ornamental pond. The horticultural centre includes a greenhouse, polytunnel and cold frames.
