We continue to welcome new families and they seem to have settled straight into the group which is great. During February we were lucky enough to be invited by Funky Aardvark to display our photos and leaflets in their upstairs gallery. We have had some outings which...

Newsletter September 2015 The summer seems to have flown by!  We have had another busy time at AIMS and continue to welcome new families. The summer garden party held at Whitstone Farm, Bovey Tracy on 28th June 2015 was a huge success.  We were lucky that the weather...

The start of 2015 has proved to be another busy period at AIMS.  I am thoroughly enjoying my role as Co-Ordinator and have to say it is made all the easier by the wonderful staff and volunteers who have helped me over the last year.  I cannot believe I have now been...

Well we have had another busy period since the last Newsletter in June 2014. During July Gill Whitehead from Scott Richards Solicitors successfully completed a gruelling 110km cycle ride in quite hilly conditions.  Gill managed to raise a whopping £850.00 for AIMS.  A...

Newsletter June 2014 Well we have had another busy period since the last Newsletter in March 2014. During the beginning of April some of our children took part in the Dawlish Rotary Swimathon to raise money for AIMS.  The children worked really hard and managed to...

This newsletter is being posted in January but 2010 seems to have gone by so quickly!  That is what happens when you are having fun and surrounded by such a great bunch of people such as those at AIMS.  We had a great time on the Santa Train thanks to South Dartmoor...

That’s summer over now. Although the weather wasn’t too good in August we did manage all our outdoor activities apart from the carnival in Dawlish. We had to call that off as the weather was very wet but no matter we have our costumes and may be able to bring them out...
