When our children were toddlers learning to back carry was a game changer! Big enough to want to walk some of the way, small enough to still get tired easily... Back carrying is much easier than giving a piggy back and a sling is much easier to take with you than a pushchair 😃

This isn't something we can teach in a library session due to time constraints, space and safety, however, if you would like to learn this skill, we can do this in a consultation either at our home in Royston, or we'll come to you!

This is would be a lovely local activity. Anyone know anyone who can help?

Hi everyone,

I hope you're having a great weekend!

As the Secretary of the Splash Pad for Ely Campaign group, I'm sharing an update on our mission to bring a fantastic splash pad to Ely!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of Craig Farrow and Neil Waterson, who have both volunteered their time for free, we've received valuable feedback from our Pre-Planning Meeting with East Cambridgeshire District Council.

We're now working towards obtaining planning permission. To make this dream a reality for the children of Ely, we're reaching out for more help. We're looking for passionate individuals who can offer their skills and time pro bono/ low cost to help us with the next steps. While we understand not everyone can volunteer, if you have expertise that could assist us in securing planning permission, or if you know someone who might be able to help, please get in touch.

Every bit of support, especially the gift of your time and expertise, brings us closer to giving Ely a wonderful new splash pad.

If you're interested in contributing or know someone who might be, please contact us at splashpad4ely@gmail.com.

Many thanks for reading and for your support!
