Family fun at our LEGOLAND® Meet Up

This August Laura and Sally from our team joined a fantastic group of children and their families at LEGOLAND® Discovery Centre in Birmingham for our latest Meet Up event.

Our Meet Up events first started in early 2024 and we now hold four Meet Ups a year in different locations and venues to bring together the child growth community. The events are designed for children and families to meet new and familiar faces for a fun day out, and we were delighted to have 68 attendees join us for a magical day out.

Thanks to Merlin’s Magic Wand Children’s Charity we’ve been able to offer tickets to eligible families through their Magical Days Out opportunity, allowing the CGF to share this brilliant Meet Up opportunity with our members and the wider child growth community.

The support of our donors, fundraisers and members allows us to make these type of support events and activities possible, and we can’t wait for our next Meet Up already! Read more about our Meet Up events here.
