As the Men's FIFA World Cup approaches, let's talk about it.. ⚽

Major sporting events are often moments of excitement and celebration for many. However, research consistently shows that they can also coincide with an increase in domestic abuse. We understand that football does not cause domestic abuse but it is important to highlight that it can act as a trigger point for abuse to escalate.

You are not alone. If you, or someone you know, is affected by domestic abuse please reach out for support.

A very happy world made by one of our crafters this morning, happy Big Green Week!

Tuesday was a busy day for Havant, with both Toddler and Baby Rhymetimes as well as our first Year R Meet and Connect sessions, but alongside this we had stalls from both Switched On Havant and OpenSight available to talk and with plenty of things to take home.

Thank you so much to both of the lovely ladies representing these fantastic organisations!

OpenSight provides essential services to over 3,300 visually impaired individuals across Hampshire, championing independence, inclusivity, and eye health awareness.

Switched On Havant is run by Portsmouth City Council in partnership with Havant Borough Council to provide Gosport, Havant and Portsmouth residents with a number of ways to save energy, money and carbon.
