An invitation…..

Independent lives, in partnership with Hampshire County Council, is running free “How to be a effective Employer” workshops.

IF YOU’RE STUCK TRYING TO FIND A DAY OUT WITH THE FAMILY OVER THE EASTER HOLIDAYS, WHY NOT TRY LONGDOWN DAIRY FARM! LONGDOWN EASTER EGG TRAILS FRIDAY 25TH MARCH, SATURDAY 26TH MARCH, SUNDAY 27TH MARCH & MONDAY 28TH MARCH Join in with the fabulous Longdown Easter trail, which is suitable for the whole family. Search for eggs, which are hidden around the Farm. Children will receive a little yummy chocolate treat at the end of the trail.

Also, for older children and adults, keep a look out for the very special golden eggs: 10 will be hidden around the Farm at the beginning of each day. They are VERY hard to find, so a special gift will be given to those who are fortunate enough to find one!

Easter Sunday ONLY (27th March 2016): Every child that arrives at the Farm in their own Easter bonnet will be allowed entry at a concessionary rate of £5.00 each. Sorry, these concessionary tickets cannot be bought online and must be paid for on arrival at the Farm. (Cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer.)

GOOD LUCK AND WE HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT TIME! :)

Longdown Farm has now officially opened their brand new changing room facility. The state-of-the-art room has a lifting hoist, adapted toilet, adult-sized changing area and adjustable sink.

**Please note this is not an Eastleigh Young Carers trip, just some information that we thought you would like**

Kylie and Bippa are jumping out of a plane

to raise money for the Young Carers Project!

They are jumping on Saturday 7th May! The cost of the jump is £175 each minus the deposit which has been paid. They are aiming to raise a total of £1000 to cover the cost of the jump and raise around £600 for the project – but the sky is literally the limit!

If you would like to pledge your support and sponsor them please visit their sponsor pages:
