Dear Parents and Carers,

Due to the unprecidented heat, please ensure that your child/adult has labelled suncream (applied thoroughly before session), cool and light coloured clothing (plenty of spares), and lots of fluids with them before they attend this week.

We will do our best to ensure everyone stays hydrated and gets the oportunity to stay out of the sun (with some added water play for good measure 🤩)

Thank you for your support and hope you are enjoying the sun!

Sutton Mencap Team 🥰
