Effects of Extreme Weather on Centre Services
The recent extreme weather conditions have made it very difficult for some staff to travel into work, therefore some centre services have been cancelled. We will do our best to continue as normal where possible. Please keep checking this page for the latest information. You can help other families by letting them know if they are unable to access the internet, Thank you.
