Our first day of 1-1 lessons for young people learning to ride a 2 wheel bike and for others improve their skills.
We still have sessions in Watford and Welwyn this half term and Hertford at Christmas. To book a 1-1 lesson go to hdsf.co.uk/find-an-activity/
Yesterday the team tried to rescue Silver, one of our family of geese, who had fishing wire wrapped round their leg and wing.
Herding on paddle boards failed dismally, in true HDSF style of not giving up, Karen called in support from Raptor Rescue to help. Jo was incredible! She helped the team catch Silver, took the wire off, checked over the leg and best of all supported Alex to release Silver back into the lake.
The honks from George, Georgling and Tonto were incredible to hear as they saw Silver released - no we don't have names for all of the wildlife 🙂
A huge thank you to Jo from Raptor Rescue, a completely self funded rescue service for birds of prey and thankfully an adored goose!
Welcome to Rosie who has joined us recently as a volunteer. Rosie joined our schools cycling team last week and in her words...
Today I taught my first child to ride a bike!
It was so rewarding to watch Z start on just a balance bike and progress to 2 pedals. Z was really worried and wobbly to begin with but soon found the confidence to scoot using 1 pedal and then balance. It took a little while for Z to realise that his balance was good enough to use both pedals and then became really excited and was able to pedal confidently round the playground.
A fantastic morning!
We love working with our friends from WingsDays, T & B will be with us all year round at Stanborough, as long as it doesn’t rain too hard 🙂Thank u Herts Disability Sports Foundation for another fantastic Tuesday 🙌
