Successful grant funding from Children In Need...
We are delighted to have been awarded a grant from Children In Need to continuing running our 'Better Together' groups in Hadleigh.
We have been running our successful ‘Better Together group’ in Hadleigh for two years. The grant will enable us to carry on this wonderful work.
The group brings military and civilian families together in a twice weekly session in the local community providing play, social opportunities and the chance for military families to be integrated into their local community, build friendships and become less socially isolated.
