SUMMARY:Rhyme Time with Croydon Libraries
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our new extended\, relaxed Rhyme Time – developed in response to feedback from our local community\, supporting as many families as we can. \n\n\n\nSongs and rhymes for families with babies and toddlers\, every week during term time. \n\n\n\nWe’ve listened to lots of new mums\, their partners\, and the grandparents and we’ve changed up Rhyme Time to try and include as many flavours of family life as we can! \n\n\n\nWe know that for many\, it’s harder to find things to do in the afternoon; some babies nap til 2pm but others don’t\, sometimes it just takes longer to get out of the house\, other days it has to feel like it’s worth it\, and some will be thinking about school pick-ups. \n\n\n\nWe’ve rejigged our session to have a gentle beginning with time for settling in\, so if you’re running 20 minutes late or dealing with one of those poos\, no need to feel defeated – you won’t miss out. The session is longer\, with time for relaxed chat and socialising at the end\, and if you need a cup of tea or a biscuit before you face the journey home\, we’ll put the kettle on. \n\n\n\nDrop in at the time that suits you – there will be songs\, rhymes and giggles from 1:45pm to 2:45pm – and\, importantly for first-time mums\, friendly faces to talk to and that cuppa if you need one. \n\n\n\nCome along and join the fun at our FREE Rhyme Time\, now back on a regular basis! \n\n\n\nThis activity is delivered in partnership with Croydon Libraries and is offered free of charge. \n\n\n\nPractical Details: \n\n\n\nOur building is not (yet) fully accessible\, there are steps down to the toilets which are not suitable for wheelchair users or those who need assistance. \n\n\n\n\nClick here to book…

SUMMARY:Monthly Carers Cafe: Colour\, Doodle & Chat
DESCRIPTION:A non-judgemental welcoming space for carers to decompress and share their experience. Colour\, doodle or tangle over coffee\, tea and biscuits or just sit and listen; you only share what feels right for you. A brief interlude where you can focus on\, and remember how to be\, yourself with others who understand how self-care is not as simple as it sounds. \n\n\n\nWelcoming carers of all types\, particularly those supporting adult children\, or juggling supporting their parents alongside raising their family. \n\n\n\nJill Finch is founder of The Story Sanctuary\, the inspiration for which partially came from being a long-term parent/carer to both her child and mother-in-law.

SUMMARY:Playful Poems! For kids aged 7-11
DESCRIPTION:Created for National Poetry Day 2025 and inspired by the theme of Play\, this fun workshop explores how poets experiment with language\, meaning\, and imagination. \n\n\n\nWe start by looking at how poetry bends and twists words in surprising ways. Then participants jump into a fast-paced game of Rock Paper Anything\, where they’re challenged to think beyond themselves and become someone\, or something\, else. An object\, an animal\, or even an abstract idea. \n\n\n\nUsing this game as a starting point for imagining ourselves as something else\, participants write mask poems from the perspective of their chosen voice. The workshop finishes with an opportunity to share and perform our poems in a supportive and friendly environment. \n\n\n\nWorkshops are designed and delivered by Steve Sobolewski\, founder of StoryMatters. Steve is a poet\, writer and educator. He holds a first-class degree in Creative Writing from Birkbeck College\, University of London\, where he was honoured with the Michael Donaghy Prize for Poetry. Steve has worked with children of all ages in a wide variety of educational and community settings across London and Sydney since 2022. \n\n\n\nThis workshop is free\, thanks to funding from Arts Council England. \n\n\n\nSuited to primary school-aged children\, this is not a drop-off workshop: a parent/carer must remain onsite. \n\n\n\nPractical Details: \n\n\n\nAll children must be accompanied by a parent/carer who can join in or relax in our seating area. Please ensure you register each child with their own ticket. \n\n\n\nOur building is not (yet) fully accessible\, there are steps down to the toilets which are not suitable for wheelchair users or those who need assistance. \n\n\n\n\nClick here to book
