I recently had this nice piece of feedback from Helen Hunt, a regular visitor ...



"Just to let you know, it is with great sadness that I am leaving the 'Sunshine Club'. After 10 years of running CST sessions, I need to be around for my family ... I take comfort knowing we have made a huge difference over the years and crucially we’ve also had so much fun. 'Sunshine Club' will continue but with someone else at the helm. I have given your details and told her what an amazing service you provide. So it just leaves me to say a huge ‘Thank You’ for all your fantastic resources and ideas. You really have been an essential, valuable and supportive member of the 'Sunshine Club'! If you’re ever in Dudley then I know the Club members would love to meet you over a cuppa! With all good wishes, Helen"



Best of luck Helen & I do hope we stay in touch x



Finally, here is the latest edition of the flier. It would be great if you could share this around.
