ADO Join SFG

ADO are pleased to have been accepted as members of Social Farms and Gardens. SFG is the result of a merger between the Federation of City Farms (FCFCG) and Community Gardens and Care Farming UK (CFUK). They joined together to better support and represent the farmers, gardeners and growers who run life-changing projects in our urban and rural communities.

Getting Our Thinking Caps On

ADO and Greenwich MENCAP have succesfully applied in a partnership bid to raise funding over £15,000 for a project we have called 'Talking Tails', which will be delivered in the new school year from September, for the direct benefit of Greenwich Schools. 

Inspirational Corey

ADO Senior Manager, Kate O'Brien concluded a fantastic year for our Jack Petchey Award Winners, with our tenth achiever, Corey Nicoll.

Kate reported, "Corey attends a local secondary school, and his friends are currently doing their Duke of Edinburgh volunteering with us. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Corey did not have the ability to carry out the full expeditions but did want to do the volunteering with his friends."

Early Years Get A Head Start with ADO

Choosing a Preschool Nursery is never an easy job for parents-carers, with so many options and factors in the mix before you even start to narrow down the alternatives. Here at ADO, our job is to prepare the early years children for reception and primary school and to give them the best possible start before embarking on their new school learning 'career'. The transition period for those children can be a real test of character and the better they are prepared, the easier they will fit into their new school. With the school year closing soon and the children at the Mini-Explorers looking forward to their leaving ceremony, it will be sad for the staff to say their goodbyes to those children they have been so close to during this school year. Although there will be probably not be a dry eye when their Teddy Bear's picnic and leaving ceremoney ends, the staff know that the children will be well prepared for the next exciting chapter in their life.

Co-op Supporting Early Years

We are pleased to announce that the Co-op local cause community fund has just paid ADO a second payment of £357, bringing the total to £716.38 to be precise! There is still one final payment to come around October-November time, so we are hoping we can hit the £1000 mark.
