Avon Valley Community Matters

Come and get messy with us during the holidays!

Holiday Activities

Following on from last year’s success, this Summer 2024 we offered our FREE Picnics Together programme for families of all ages and abilities - all FREE as part of Avon Valley Community Matters outreach work to support families and their carers in Fordingbridge and its surrounding villages. In the past 2 years we entertained and fed more than 500 people!

We also organise FREE half term activities. During each session we organise crafts, games, stories, songs and also provide a hot meal and pudding. A great way to meet friends and make some new ones as well as keeping the kids occupied during the holidays. All ages welcome!

In October half term we organised a Celebration of Light at St Mary’s Church (& Church Hall) in Fordingbridge and made candles, lanterns as well as new friends. Following on from this we are organising another FREE Lantern Workshop from 2-4pm on Saturday 16 November. Join us to make a lantern to bring to the Lantern Procession on 29 November at the Fordingbridge Christmas Lights evening. Email irenecanton@hotmail.co.uk for more information.
