We just want to thank Children in Need so much for inviting our group to the purple carpet event at the Odeon Cinema in Leicester Square. We felt like VIP’s for the morning and I know our children loved it. 

As we walked in, we were welcomed by the team who handed us a Cadbury bag and told us what was going to happen. Then we were ushered upstairs where importantly the adults were offered hot drinks and MORE chocolate. Looking out on the Christmassy Leicester Square really made us feel excited. We were then welcomed into the cinema and shown to our VIP seats. Now I have never sat in an electronic reclining seat in at the cinema, I must admit I did have fun moving the chair all around. The film was brilliant. I did half expect quite a few of our children to not be able to sit through the whole film, as sitting is not one of our top skills, but they all managed to stay till the end. 

Not only did we have chocolate to munch on, but we at SEND Support also did a little bit of prep work before hand to help the children feel less anxious. We made a ‘Going to the cinema social Story’ I managed to find pictures of the cinema and inside the cinema and we explained what exactly would happen from leaving home, during the film and then getting home again. I also made Paddington activity bags, which had a Paddington colouring sheet, crayons and stickers.

This was just perfect for the children who just needed something to do at the same time. It was so wonderful to be given the opportunity to allow our kids to have a non-pressured screening where we could meet their needs and not upset others around us. Some of our children hadn’t been to the cinema before so this was a really exciting experience. 

 Thank you!

The Friday Garden Crew have had a wonderful time planting herbs, flowers and vegetables in our new plot in Abbey Wood. Week by week the children are learning how plants grow and seeing the changes develop as they water and care for them. It has been so much fun and hopefully soon we can try some of the wonderful herbs and vegetables!

Send Support were invited for a very special day out to celebrate the launch of the new partnership between BBC Children in Need and Peppa Pig! We had an amazing day on the Peppa Pig Bus Tour around central London and we were treated to all sorts of wonderful treats and gifts! Thank you Children In Need for all your support, and we had an incredible day!
