Montrose Minis started in May 2023, we are a ‘toddler group’ suitable for little ones from birth up to school age and welcome parents, grandparents, carers, childminders and anyone else who wants to come along. We provide a welcoming, safe space for children to play, explore, socialise, do some crafts and have a snack, and for adults to enjoy a cuppie and a biscuit and have a chat. We are run by volunteers and rely on our weekly fees to cover costs (rent, insurance, eys membership, snack and refreshments, craft materials, toys and resources) but it’s not always enough. To continue to run the group and provide play and socialising opportunities for children we are needing to do some fundraising and have decided to do a sponsored ‘toddle’. During our session the children, accompanied by a favourite soft toy, will make their way round the playing field at the Columba hall (walk, dance, skip… they can choose) ending with a teddy bears picnic for snack and some outdoor play.
