Halloween Yoga

Yesterday our members and volunteers had a Halloween-themed yoga session that was full of thrills and chills! We each took turns pulling a Trick or Treat from the bag, challenging us to spooky poses like:

Spider, witch on her broom, bat, ghost, and crow.

We ended this spooktacular session with a calming focus on a flickering candle, paired with relaxing music. Not only did we get a good stretch and laugh, but we also found some zen. Thank you, Lisa, for such a fun session; can’t wait for next week!

Caerphilly Parent Network Trunk Or Treat

Yesterday our fantastic volunteers, Ffion, Amy, and Gethin, joined in the fun at the Trunk or Treat event at Bargoed Morrison’s car park, hosted by the amazing team from The Parent Network. It’s always a pleasure for us to attend these community events, spreading the message of self-advocacy and sharing all the wonderful things our volunteers do, but this one was extra special!

The excitement was in the air as children explored the spooky Beetlejuice trail, played games, and showed off their fantastic costumes. Not only were the kids dressed to impress, but mums, dads, carers, and families made it a festive affair too. The props were incredible, and the joyful atmosphere was contagious — this year’s event was even bigger and better than last year. Seeing so many happy children enjoying themselves truly made our day. Thank you, The Parent Network, for an unforgettable day filled with joy, laughter, and community spirit!

Halloween Music Party

What a spooktacular day at our Reconnect through Music Halloween Party today! We had a full house, and everyone brought their A-game with amazing costumes, singing some classic tunes along with some Halloween favourites! The atmosphere was electric, with lots of dancing and spooky fun.

We also enjoyed a fang-tastic buffet lunch and delicious Halloween cakes. Big thanks to Zoe and Gemma for helping out and making it a party to remember! No group next week as the lovely Zak and Lexy will be working on their youth project for half-term. A big shout-out to Libanus Lifestyle Chapel for hosting us; we had so much fun and can’t wait for the next one!

Trunk or Treat

Our volunteers Ffion Poole and Gethin Chamberlain did a great job yesterday at the Parent Network Community Forum ‘Trunk or Treat’ event at Morrisons underground car park in Bargoed. Gethin, Ffion and Christy covered Christy’s car with Halloween decorations and handed out sweets and stickers to the children walking around the witch trail. We’ve never seen so many happy little faces in scary outfits, and we’d like to thank Amanda Jones and the team for inviting us to this fantastic event.
