SUNBEAMS TOO TO CLOSE Sunbeams Too toddler group at Hangleton Community Centre will be holding their last session on 11th February. The group have decided to close as the volunteer-run/organised sessions were originally started in response to complaints from local residents about the lack of toddler groups in Hangleton, but since Sunbeams Too opened, 2 other groups have followed suit, so the Sunbeams Too group no longer feel the service is essential. They will continue to run the original Wednesday morning sessions at St Richards Community Centre in Egmont Road on the Knoll Estate and look forward to seeing parents at those sessions.

The committee would like to thank the many parents who have supported Sunbeams Too since its inception.
