🏃‍♀️ Calling All Football Fans! ⚽

 

Do you have a daughter, family member, or know a girl in P6 or P7 (born in 2014 or 2015) who loves to play football? Dyce Girls FC’s U-12 development squad has recently moved up to the exciting 9-a-side format and is looking to welcome a couple of new players into the team.

This is a fantastic chance to join our supportive and growing squad and develop skills in a fun environment.

We train on a Tuesday evening in Dyce and play matches on a Sunday.
Coaches are SFA/SWF qualified, PVG checked and first aid trained.

If interested, please contact us at dycegirls2015@gmail.com or message us via our Facebook page – Dyce Girls FC to arrange a trial session. We look forward to hearing from you!

Free bus travel – let the adventures begin!

Is your child turning five? You can apply for their card with free bus travel up to two weeks before their fifth birthday. Whether it’s the school run, a trip to the park, or a weekend adventure, free bus travel makes it easier and more affordable to get around. Find out more at freebus.scot.

You can also find out more about free bus travel for people with disabilities on the Transport Scotland website.

Measles is on the increase, with a rapid rise in the number of cases seen in parts of England, and a confirmed case in Scotland. It is a serious illness, but the MMR vaccine is proven to safely offer high levels of protection. It is given in two doses; if you are not sure if your child has had both doses, you can contact your GP practice to confirm.

If your child has never had the MMR – or hasn’t had the complete course – you can contact our vaccination teams to arrange.

Childhood vaccinations offer protection against many serious illnesses, and you are encouraged to ensure your child is up to date with all of them.

At any given time up to 40% of adults and 50% of children (this rises to 80% with a SEND diagnosis) have difficulties with their sleep.  Yet in a recent survey, almost 60% of adults felt there was a lack of support for sleep issues.  Sleep problems can leave people feeling isolated and lonely.

Our free helpline is run by trained sleep advisors, many of whom are specialists in working with SEND.  We can talk to young people directly, or parents (we can also talk to adults, including older people, about their sleep issues).

The helpline is open 5 times a week, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday evenings 7-9pm, and Monday, Wednesday mornings 9-11am.

The number is 03303 530 541.
