June 2024 Newsletter
On May 23rd, we led a walk along the Sailors Path at Snape for the Suffolk Walking Festival. Bridging the gap between Black, minoritised, and migrant women is the aim of our Ambling African Women walking group and we managed to do just that during our walk. We hope everyone enjoyed the opportunity to connect with nature while nurturing their mental and physical health.

January 2024 Newsletter
Over the Christmas period, we facilitated children’s activities at our centre. These activities ensure children have a safe space to enjoy while school is out. During a time of food insecurity these spaces and activities are especially important as they ensure children have at least one hot meal during the day.
