Thomley SEN Activity Centre
Sat 29th July 2023, 10am.
Book now to join us for a day of fun activities – free to members (donations welcome) – we are meeting the cost of tickets from ongoing fundraising.
For our annual summer outing this year we are excited about trying somewhere new following personal recommendations from members. We are off to Thomley play park in Buckinghamshire (HP18 9JZ) which has something for all ages and provides us with a great venue to spend the day together. We will meet at the venue at 10.00 and once in the park families will be free to explore at their own pace, do have a look at their website to see what you might fancy getting up to. Those who would like to can meet up for lunch (bring a picnic or make use of the on site cafe). Siblings are most welcome as ever – it’s sure to be a great day. We need to purchase tickets for this in advance so let us know as soon as you can if your family would like to join us, by filling in the form below.

St Albans Half Marathon 2022
12th June 2022
We are really looking forward to once again be involved in the St Albans Half Marathon this year. We will be fielding a team of ‘cheer marshals’ to help encourage the runners and walkers and add to the great atmosphere—let us know if you would like to join us in cheering or just drop by and say hello at our stand on the day.
Our Runners
Member Penny Taylor, mum to Charlie who will be joining us as a cheer marshal, will be running the 5K at
the event. Charlie has been helping Penny with her training and aims to run himself next year—to sponsor Penny go to https://cafdonate.cafonline.org/20637
Alison Wilde, local resident and friend of long term supporter of Up on Downs, Trish Hall, has entered the Walking Half Marathon on our behalf. To sponsor Alison go to https://cafdonate.cafonline.org/20520
Richard Thompson, whose daughter Olivia is a friend of member Rose Hopcroft, is kindly running the Half Marathon to raise funds for us. To sponsor Richard go to https://cafdonate.cafonline.org/20639
