The Sonshine football club were invited to play a game at Arsenal!
The boys were given a tour and a talk on the Arsenal facilities and then the fun started – a match! This has never happened before – a group of OJ boys invited to Arsenal to play a football match, what a special occasion. The winners? The boys and Arsenal, who we thank very much.
The boys and their parents had a great day and still talk about it.

Sonshine club staff underwent training, achieving 2 certifications: Allergy and food intolerance and level 2 in Food and Hygiene.
This means we can now provide hot meals to users and their families. Great news for the winter when users spend more time after school in the Friendship Circle premises. Being able to prepare our own food will help combat the increasingly difficult cost of living crisis.

Friendship Circle ran a 10 day summer playscheme 
Twenty participants, aged 7-18 years enjoyed music and movement sessions, Big Foot drama – acting out Little Red Riding Hood and PE sessions. They also prepared sandwiches and cleared the decks afterwards! Other highlights included ice skating and a visit to a petting farm. A busy, fun time with lots of other activities.
