If you are looking for children's books to read to your little ones, please do not let price be an issue. We have lots of children's books at the community bookshop and you can just come and take whatever you need or leave a small donation if you would prefer.

It's long overdue to post this, it got lost in the back of my admin pile, sorry for the delay 😵‍💫

Here is a lovely photo thanks to Minehead First Pre School of little ones enjoying equipment we purchased for their Wild Wellies area. Equipment included a storage shed, ropes and accessories to attach swing seats to trees, clipboards, magnifying glasses and small world figures.

We can't make these donations to our local schools, preschools and families without the help and support of all of you.
Minehead has such an amazing community. Thank you to everyone who supports what we do 💕
