“We just wanted to thank you for the lovely trip we had to Perrygrove today. Our 2 girls really enjoyed it and it was great to do something new together as a family”.
“We are very grateful to FVAF for including child S in the HAF scheme. She has benefitted in confidence from meeting different children. Thank you”.
“Child T had such a great time with us that he chose to eat his food in the Apple Barn with everyone. His mum was amazed and very pleased. He is a child with SEN who usually has difficulty in eating with others”.
