With
Easter coming, this is a great time to quack about Little Ducklings –
our drop-in group for parents with pre-school age twins, or triplets, or even
more ..
GL11
Community Project is a friendly and fun place to be, and we aim to make everyone
feel welcome – whatever their age. Our Little Ducklings group is having
a short break over Easter, but will be open again on Monday 20 April from
10 to 12 noon, at GL11, Fairmead, Cam. This group is a great opportunity for
parents with twins (or triplets) to get together, have a chat and talk with
other parents who really do understand! For
further details, please ring Jane or Mandy on 01453 548530, or e-mail office@gl11.org.uk

2008: We had an early Christmas present at GL11 when a group of more than
20 volunteers from Lloyds TSB chose to help us by giving us a makeover
as part of a corporate team building event for them. Over a day and a
half the offices, hallway, stairs and corridor, plus two meeting rooms
and two crèche rooms as well as the toilet were painted. The difference
it has made is amazing, and has given the best possible start to 2009
for staff, volunteers and all residents who access our premises and services.
