~ ROUNDHAY PARK ~

One Sunny Week in April

On the 12th April 2021 Leep1 reopened its doors to our members! We now support 19 members in our centre and office each week who have full access to our activities and sessions. Some sessions still remain online so that all our members are able to join in and take part.

We work in small bubbles each day to keep everyone safe and protected from Covid-19 but this has meant that not 100% of our members can come back yet. We really hope it won’t be too long before we can welcome back everyone when restrictions change and ease further.

The sun shone everyday during the second week with a mini spring heat wave in full swing! We made the most of the glorious weather by taking day trips to local parks and areas of interest. A popular choice was Roundhay Park and we visited the lakes and woodland a few times with different groups.

It was amazing to see everyone laughing and having fun together again – even the short bus journey to get to the park was full of fun.

Fairy Houses

During lockdown it was rumoured that magical fairy houses were appearing in Roundhay Woods. No one knows who started this off but local children started to build and decorate more trees adding to the collection. Doors, windows and even stepladders have been stuck more than 10 trees in the Ram Wood area, with some people even adding little toy fairies to complete the scene. There’s even a smiley tree complete with stick-on eyes

We were so excited to find some of them on one of our mini adventures!
