This week the Gupshup Ladies Group had a wonderful catch up after our break, reconnecting with familiar faces and welcoming new ones.
Today we made earrings from scratch, some are keeping theirs, while others plan to gift them to loved ones. It was a lovely creative activity that encouraged teamwork and refining their fine motor skills.
We also enjoyed a riddle game in the groups mother tongue and community language, celebrating language and cultural connection.

We are settling into our new venue and already enjoying the warm, welcoming atmosphere it provides.
