Vegimation
We were thrilled to be back out there delivering Healthy Holidays 2021 after working online throughout lockdown offering our sessions to the children of Leeds. It was so good to be able to meet the children face to face again and we saw so many of you with the project having a massive target this year. We were thrilled to rise to the challenge and met lovely, amazing and creative children. 262 children have taken part in Vegimation this year and we’ll be back in the winter to do it all over again.

Brilliant and amazing workshop and for my daughter Maria who has asd and really bad anxiety to complete something after walking out and having a wobble is a big achievement for her, she usually won't go back in or struggles to complete anything and the people on the day was amazing with her.
