and dressing up. We have a Christmas Party planned for 15th Dec with a visit from Father
Christmas. Parties are held in the Victoria Halls and once again can be booked via our

 Fundraising-We are lucky enough to have been selected by the Co op Community Fund for
next year, if you shop at the Co op we would be really grateful if you could select us as your
cause. We will have fund raising stalls at the Hermitage Academy Christmas Fair and
Stepping Stones Nursery Christmas Fair. 
 Please encourage local families with young children to join in our activities, they are run on a
pay what you can basis and open to all in the area. We aim to offer support in many ways
and this is going to be particularly important during the cost of living crisis and the hard
winter ahead. We signpost to support in a variety of ways whenever we can.
 We are looking to support Helensburgh and Lomond Home Start befriending service and an
early literacy programme being initiated by the Community Hub.
