Massive thank you to our volunteer Mmegan Crombie for stepping out of her comfort zone and taking charge of tonight's activities, looks like the kids had a great time and she's done an amazing job. Lovely to be sent pictures of these beautiful creations made by the girls group tonight.

Hugely grateful that in my absence our amazing team pulls together and makes sure everything still runs smoothly. It definitely makes resting a bit easier.

Looks like we're "stepping into Christmas" 🎶🎵🎶🎵🌲❄️⛄🎁

Update for Our Families

We are aware of the recent post shared by the Spartan Child Protection Team regarding an individual that was filmed in the Greenhills area. The person involved cannot be named at this time for legal reasons, which understandably caused some concern and put us into full safeguarding mode.

I have spoken directly with the team today, and I want to reassure all of our families that the individual in question has had no opportunity to access our children or the building we use.

Safety remains our highest priority, and we will continue to stay informed and take all appropriate measures to ensure a secure environment for every child in our care.

If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to contact us directly.

Happy birthday, Pauline.
I just had to share our most recent photo of you 😂 shows your youthful fun side 🌟

We were originally going to announce this at our Christmas party, but we thought it would be an even nicer surprise to share it today, on your birthday. You are Little Brains’ Volunteer of the Year for 2025.

You have been a huge support since the very beginning. Even though you don’t volunteer with us full time because you’re on the board, the parent committee and you’re our treasurer, you still show up again and again whenever we need you. You’re always ready to put your purple hoodie on and get stuck in.

You fill in for volunteers when we’re short. You pick up paperwork and resources without being asked. You turn up to meetings that go far beyond your responsibilities. You help organise extra events. You run out to the shops when resources run out mid-session. You always go that extra mile, and it never goes unnoticed.

We are genuinely grateful to have you as part of our team. Volunteer of the Year isn’t about who’s here the most or who puts in the most hours. It’s about appreciating the small, important things that make everything run more smoothly. And Pauline, you do that better than anyone, silently in the back ground keeping stuff afloat when we're all stressing.

Happy birthday, and thank you for everything you do for Little Brains. 💜

One of the proudest posts I’ve written for Little Brains! 💛

Two of our wonderful young volunteers are hosting their very own Bounce Bingo in aid of two charities very close to the heart of Little Brains.

The girls have shown incredible dedication , planning, decision-making, and problem-solving their way through every detail. I couldn’t be prouder of their effort and enthusiasm.

Now we’re hoping the community will get behind them and show their support! 🌟

🎟️ Tickets will go on sale at the start of December and will be available through to February.

They’ll also need a bit of community help in gathering prizes and donations. If you’re able to offer anything at all, please do- let’s show these girls that they have the full support of their community behind them! 💪💛

With the deepest sadness I need to let yous know that our Friday morning under 5 group will be closed until further notice. All other groups will run as normal as we have the staff to cover.

I will have it back open as soon as my health allows.
My back injury is not improving at the rate I would have hoped & we have very limited volunteers that are available for this session.

Absolutely devastated- we will be back asap!
Louise.

Receiving a Tourette diagnosis can be overwhelming, with many questions and unknowns. ⁉️Education and awareness can help combat misinformation. What other things might be helpful for newly diagnosed individuals? 🤔Share your thoughts in the comments below. 👇

Just a wee reminder about booking your space ♥️🌟

🎄 Christmas Party Invitation 🎄

We’re so excited to invite you and your families to our Christmas Party! (members & their household)

We’ve booked the Westwood Hall, so there’s plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves.

We’ll be putting on a big buffet - we thought this would be best since food can be tricky for many of our kids. There’s absolutely no pressure to attend, and the event is free of charge.

Thanks to a lovely £170 donation from Technotots, we’ll be using this to help cover the food. Families are also very welcome to bring along a small tray of something they know their kids will enjoy.

If your family will be attending, please let us know your numbers so we can plan ahead.

The party will be held on a Monday evening after school, and all families are welcome.

For anyone who prefers a quieter space, there will also be a smaller room set up similarly to the main hall for a calmer environment.

We can’t wait to celebrate together! 🎅✨

We are excited to share that two of our young volunteers are leading a charity fundraiser for PMG Family Support Scotland and BEAT as part of their personal development programme. This project is not just a chance to develop their skills—it is also an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of others. Some of the young people we work with have been directly affected by the issues these charities address, and through this fundraiser, we hope to raise both awareness and vital funds to support their work.

PMG Family Support Scotland is a charity that provides support, advice, and resources to families affected by progressive muscular disorders. They help families navigate the challenges of these conditions, providing practical and emotional support to improve quality of life.

BEAT is a leading UK charity dedicated to supporting anyone affected by eating disorders. It offers guidance, resources, and practical help for individuals struggling with conditions such as anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating, as well as support for their families.

By supporting these charities, our young volunteers are helping to make a tangible difference in the lives of people facing these health challenges, while also learning the value of community involvement and social responsibility.
