Volunteers needed for Buckden Mums & Tots
The group meets every Wednesday 9.30 to 11am, term time
in the Methodist Hall.
I’ve been running the group, with my son, for over a year,
and have met some great friends and enjoyed every minute.
However I won’t be able to continue with the group from
September 2019. I would be very happy to chat to and help
any volunteers willing to takeover. A group perhaps or a rota
system.
Please let me know if you are interested or need further de-
tails. Louise,
