Buds and Blooms are small, friendly groups held in care homes in Barry on a Wednesday morning at 10:15 am. The residents love seeing us and interacting with the children and it is lovely to see the relationships that are forming between the residents, children and parents/carers. Book now to avoid disappointment as spaces will be limited to ten families per session. Sessions cost £2.50 for the first child and £1.25 for each additional sibling or the equivalent of £2 a session for the first child and £1.00 for each additional sibling if paid for in a block of a full month at a time. New members always welcome. Places are not refundable or transferable except in the unlikely event of me needing to cancel a session.

Super Sniffers Intermediate at Barry Island Community Centre:

The power of a dog's nose knows no bounds! Their sense of smell is so powerful, it would like us humans being able to see New York from Land's End! We use this powerful sense as a great mental workout teaching your dog to locate and indicate on a specific scent. This great dog sport is very beneficial for mental stimulation and wellbeing. It is also capable of boosting your dog's confidence and give them a positive outlook on life. This is a 6-week course taught by a qualified Scentwork UK and UK Sniffer Dog Instructor with over 4 years experience in the sport. Starts at 7 pm.
