FRIENDS WANTED
We moved to the village in November last year
& my 9 yr old son is struggling to make friends.
He couldn’t attend the village school due to no
places being available and with the winter
nights and weather he simply just hasn’t had
the chance to meet anyone. If you are a parent
of a similar age child and you think they might
like to make a new friend (he is sports / football
mad and likes riding his bike & playing
Xbox)then please get in touch - 01566 782963.
Many thanks. Helen
