Fun First Update August 2024
• Fun First finished our summer term with a successful Teddy Bear’s Picnic in James
Street Community Gardens with more than thirty families in attendance.
• We have continued to run a reduced number of sessions during the summer holidays
with weekly sessions in Helensburgh library and on the peninsula. This follows
requests from families
• We are very pleased to have been awarded £2,500 from the Argyll and Bute
Supporting Communities Fund to support the introduction of our new outdoor
sessions. We were also grateful for a grant of £1,000 from the ABCAN seed funding
for equipment to support these sessions.
• We currently have funding applications lodged with the Robertson Trust and The
bank of Scotland 
• We have been invited to hold  our next Fun First Friends at The Hill House where who
are hoping to establish better community links with both them and the NTS.
• Our full set of weekly sessions will start again the week beginning 19th August.
• Please encourage new and expectant parents with children 0- 5 years to visit our
website and Facebook pages Fun First and Fun First babies for updates on all our
activities and other useful information
