Dunfermline baby group celebrating 10 year anniversary

The Abbeyview organisation was formed in 2014 when local mums Amanda Thornton and Lindsay Masterton decided to start one up, and they're having a party on Friday to celebrate.

A decade on, it's Amanda’s parents that now run the group and it is estimated that over 500 babies and toddlers have attended over the years.

There is a charge of £2 for each child that attends and the money goes towards providing the youngsters with a snack and a hot drink and biscuits for the adults.

The group have been fortunate enough to receive a number of donations over the years from a variety of groups including the Coalfields Regeneration Scheme and the Asda green token scheme.

The party will allow them to celebrate 10 years in Abbeyview Community Centre before moving into the new community hub later in the year.

They are now hoping to raise more funds to continue their services and to enable them to upgrade toys and equipment. They are also looking for more volunteers.

Bobby Thornton said: “If the parents take unwell, there’s nobody there.

“It’s just a shame that a lot of helpers when we first started have fallen away because obviously their kids are about 10-years-old now."

To mark the milestone, the group will be hosting a party on the morning of Friday, June 7.

Invitations have been sent to parents and children who currently and previously attended the group.

There will be a storyteller in attendance and other party games.

The baby and toddlers group runs on Friday mornings during term time from 9.30am to 11.30am.
