    • Family fun day success

    • Despite threats of heavy rain, yet another fabulous Family Fun Day for Sheffield families was had at the Niagara Centre at the end of August. The Niagara Centre offered plenty of space for families to relax and for children to enjoy a wide range of accessible activities. From bungee trampolines to adapted bikes and even a petting zoo, there was something for everyone. A special thank you goes to Sheffield Wednesday F.C and The Sheffield Eagles Foundation for their support with this.
