Teamwork
Daniel’s Den is a voluntary organisation. The leaders are there to help … but not to do everything! We encourage parents, carers and children to help tidy up and serve others. There are also opportunities to play a more active role in volunteering.
Crafts
Each term has a theme:
- Autumn – colours
- Spring – shapes
- Summer – animals
