@focus-charity.bsky.socialLast week, our Inspire group celebrated #HiddenHeroesDay, acknowledging those who do valuable work in the public services sector.
The group drew Hidden Heroes as actual superheroes, learning about the skills and responsibilities they have that make their work so important.
@mem-ories.bsky.socialSpent time volunteering at a primary school to help out with the breakfast club!
It was great getting to know all the kids and doing some activities before school began 😊
Drawing was a particular favourite! So together we all made a poster to help advertise the club 🖍️
