Disability Show

Just about to go and set up for the Disability Show at Westpoint in Exeter - come and visit us there this weekend.
The holiday club is about to start at CEDA. This year it is packed full of outings, sports, harvesting the vegetables at our allotment, drama, film making, alongside all the usual favourites - music, computers, arts and crafts and visits to playparks.
The Playpark has asked CEDA kids to help them in making a documentary to show just how great the playpark is.
We're more aware than ever of the need to provide some new services for teenagers. We are hearing from parents that there are gaps in provision, both for activities for older kids generally, and in transition. Keep feeding your ideas for what you need to us, and they will inform our plans. Email me at trish.o@cedaonline.org.uk with your thoughts etc.

Own a signed Harry potter Gold DVD!

Yes you can! CEDA is auctioning a Gold DVD of the Harry Potter film "Order of the Phoenix". Signed by Daniel himself. We also have a signed album of "The Joshua Tree" U2's seminal album from back when we all really believed in Bono........
And, for you footie fans, the original 1966 team who took England to Victory in the World cup - you can bid for a signed photo.
All come with full certificates of authentifications.
Email me for more details at trish.o@cedaonline.org.uk.
But hurry........tempus fugit.

Lots happening

CEDA kids club is busy as ever, with a range of sports, drama, film and other activities happening. As ever, our children go on lots of outings, and a huge variety are planned over the summer holidays - Sam and Heather have been heard groaning as they make the many necessary arrangements!
We have splaces in our kids club, and now is the time to organise sessions for afterschool or Saturdays in September. We like to meet the children and their parents, and give them both a chance to see what we offer, and tell us anything they would like us ton know - likes, dislikes, medical info etc.

Adult CEDA students have a month left to go with this term's programme. Gardening and Complementary Therapies have been popular additons. Tuesday's cookery group is an old favourite, Rosie adds her special brand of magic both to the session and the meals! They taste great. Everyone wants to be at CEDA on a Tuesday. We offer an amazing range of courses for disabled adults - you are always welcome to come and see what we provide - be prepared to be surprised!
