✨ Exciting News for Marske and the surrounding area! ✨

Introducing Little Links Playgroup — a brand-new space for tots, parents, and carers to connect, play, and grow together!

📅 When: Starting Friday, September 11th | 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM
📍 Where: The Whitehouse, Marske

Our playgroup centres around Free Play — child-driven, self-directed fun packed with arts, crafts, games, and imaginative activities.

Why Free Play?

Builds Independence: Lets little ones follow their curiosity, set their own goals, and make decisions.

Sparks Creativity: Boosts imagination through voluntary, unstructured fun.

Supports Development: Strengthens problem-solving skills, emotional regulation, and confidence.

Come join us for a relaxed morning where your little ones can explore at their own pace while you catch up with other local parents!

We can't wait to welcome you and your mini-explorers. See you there! 👋🎨🧸

Team Chippy Lunch! We all got together recently to enjoy lunch together as a team and take some time out from our jobs to just be. We spend so much time encouraging others to take care of themselves and its important to do the same for ourselves.

As the autumn starts to arrive its important to slow down and find ways spend time around others and chat . Also a good excuse for chips! ✨

We can’t believe this was last November! ……🤞

Thank you Linking Routes for this lovely photograph.

Thanks to funding from Tees Million and Redcar and Cleveland Council, children in smaller towns and villages had the opportunity to take part in exciting activities and be part of their local parade. The children were delighted to get involved and chose the name Hunnie Angel for the Polar Bear.

And just like that, Summer 2026 HAF has officially come to an end! ☀️✨

Our young adventurers spent the summer exploring the best of the outdoors—from hunting down geocaches and exploring woods and fields, to discovering incredible sea creatures in our local rock pools! 🦀🐑🌊

Here is some of our favourite feedback from the sessions:

"I had an amazing day!"

"I didn't realize how many creatures live in the rock pools!"

"I loved it and want to come back!"

The absolute best part? Seeing everyone make new friends and connect across all ages. It was a joy from start to finish!

Thank you to everyone who joined us this summer—we can't wait to see you again next time! 💙

Thank you Tees Million for supporting our Kids Art & Social Group which takes place in Carlin How.

This grant means we are able to continue this successful children's group in East Cleveland which so many families rely on.

The grant ensures we are able to not only provide the group but also so we can provide food and drinks to the children attending and at times transport those children who are not able to attend otherwise.

Thank you!
