<![CDATA[<p>Throughout the summer holidays, Great Ormond Street Hospital School have been redeveloping the former Activity Centre within the hospital to create a new Children’s Centre.  The centre will be opening towards the end of the year and we are delighted to have been invited to run a second slot there every Wednesday (in addition to our existing Tuesday slot).  The Tuesday sessions that we’ve been running there for nearly 3 years will now be aimed at the older children whereas Wednesdays will be with babies, pre-schoolers and parents.  We are very excited as we will now be able to sing to all the very little ones and their families too!</p>]]>

	<p>Earlier this year we put ourselves up for Auction to raise money for MeToo (a support group for children with additional needs and their families).  We were ‘bought’ by Annie and Julian Miall whose family are supported by the Shooting Star Children’s Hospice in Hampton.  We had said we could do a sing-a-long at a venue of their choice and they decided they’d like us to be part of the entertainment at a charity celebrity cricket match that they were organising this Autumn.  Well, the big event took place in September and it was really fabulous – there was lots for the children to do and a bit of cricket was thrown in for good measure.  Harlequins Rugby players switched their rugby shorts for Cricket whites and joined the event – but we’re sure they won’t be giving up their day job any time soon!!</p>
