Hey everyone,
It's completely normal to feel a bit down during the winter months. But we can all do our best to get through to those lovely spring days we're all looking forward to!
We're inviting you to a watch party for Blue Monday to help boost our spirits
We'll be watching on Sunday 19th January at 2-4pm. All you need to do is bring your snacks, blankets, and maybe even some hot chocolate (if you're into that kind of thing!).
Vote in the poll below to let us know which movie you'd like to watch!
Hope to see you there!
