Big Night In

We are supporting the Talking Points Big Night In event to let young people with additional support needs aged 12 to 26 and their families know what is on over the summer holidays in East Renfrewshire. We will have lots of information about social activities, drama, employment, sports, arts and much more. It will be a fun event and we hope to see as many of you as possible. Just pop in anytime between 5pm and 8pm.
