We are delighted to be welcoming the team from Youth Options here on Saturday 2nd December. Their mission is driven by the belief that every child and young person should have the opportunity to realise their potential, whatever their life circumstances. So if you have a young person in your life, come along and have a chat. The team will be here from 10am to 1pm.
Helping Hooves return
One our favourite local causes is Helping Hooves. Based here in Swanmore, Helping Hooves assist those experiencing change caused by illness, injury, recovery or other trauma. So we’re looking forward to seeing “Mouse” and “Hamish” here on Saturday 18th November, to be brushed and loved by Barnaby’s customers . Bring an apple or a carrot!
As is customary on our Charity Awareness Days, we’ll be giving half of our takings on the day, plus anything you are able to donate through our ‘Tap n’Go’ service.
