Happy New Year Players!

I hope you are enjoying your 2020 thus far. It’s been pretty turbulent for many with regard to the bush fires across the East Coast and in South Australia and our heart goes out to all affected including the flora and fauna.

We will be co hosting (with Extinction Rebellion Hills Families group) a Bushfire Benefit for kids this Thursday. The Facebook event is here. We hope you can make it.

In other news, at the tail end of 2019 we were visited by the lovely Siobhan from Playgroup Victoria. We are very grateful to have now been profiled on the new and improved Playgroup Victoria website.

The article is here: https://www.playgroupblog.org/playgroup-stories#/belgrave-cottage-playgroup/

It’s a lovely (and kind of intense!) documentation of our Cottage’s history and present. We hope you like it.

Please come to Love, Letters, Linen: A meet up for change makers!

Meet up:

Love: Recharge amongst friends.
Letters: Email or post letters to your local, state or national representatives, let businesses know they are doing well or poorly on issues close to your heart, or send notes to loved ones.
Linen: Repair, make or alter clothing or fabric items. We’ll have talented makers and machines on hand to help. Bring your own projects and materials.

Our Playgroup believe that fostering connections in the community, being proactive in the world and using less resources makes for a better world and life.

All community members are welcome to this event.

We ask for a small monetary donation if you can to cover our insurance for these events.

FaceBook event here.

Thank you to everyone who signed up.

If you want to come along and just hang out at Nightlights tonight, please do! Come from 7.30 pm at 29 Park Drive, Belgrave.

All welcome. No membership needed.

If your family is needing some social time for the kids (or for the carers!) how about joining our Playgroup? There are a few of our groups that would love new members to join them.

We also have time slots available for new groups to claim as their own.
