In order to keep everyone safe, we will however continue to have a maximum number of attendees at each session.
Masbro Children’s Centre: 30 maximum adults
Flora Gardens Children’s Centre: 20 maximum adults
Edward Woods Community Centre: 12 maximum adults.
Masbro Brook Green Children’s Centre: 20 maximum adults
We will monitor this regularly and increase attendee numbers where possible.
To guarantee a space, we suggest you arrive at the beginning of the session. We ask you bring your Children’s Centre ID card with you. If you are unaware of your ID number, please contact Monika at monika@upg.org.uk. If you do not know your ID number, we will ask you to complete a Children’s Centre registration form, to ensure we have all contact details.
UPG will also continue to require centre users to wear a mask whilst inside of the centres. This is the policy across all centres and we ask you adhere to this whilst attending sessions.

🥇⭐️ LET'S DO MAKATHON 🥇⭐️
Makaton is simple sign language made up of actions and pictures which supports language. Makaton uses signs and symbols to help people communicate. It is designed to support the development of spoken language.
Makaton signs are based on the gestures used in BSL (British Sign Language – the language of the Deaf community). Makaton signs are used in conjunction with speech at all times and in English grammatical word order.
Join Chanita in the last of our series. Makaton is extremely flexible as it can be personalised to the individual’s needs and used at a level that is suitable for them. Click here to find out more about Makathon.
