The 1st coffee morning of the year & it was great to catch up with the community, see some familiar faces, & make some brand new connections.
Always good to meet other services & talk about how we can work together to better serve the needs of Leicester residents🙌

🎨 We recently gifted this 'giant bird box' to Charles Booth Pre-School in Thringstone.
🐦 As part of a project with our friends at @Charnwood_Arts & @ageukleics, artist Lucy Stevens created her own visual language to interpret real bird ringing data from the Geopark.

📢Our final FibroScan clinic alongside @ageukleics & @CafeWellbeing takes place today between 11am-1pm!
No booking needed - just avoid food for 3 hours beforehand as it helps us to get a clearer scan of your liver.
