Clifford’s Tower Daffodils – Press Article

Have you seen the daffodils at Clifford’s Tower? Last year, Mrs Burt took the children from Y5/6 to join in the volunteer effort on a very soggy November day, planting thousands of bulbs to help restore the beautiful and poignant display that commemorates one of the worst anti-Jewish atrocities of the Middle Ages.

As the daffodils come into bloom, and to mark the anniversary of the massacre, which took place on the 16th March 1190, the York Press have written about this – please click the image below to read the full article.

Family Matters Courses for January ’23

‘Tis the Season to be Jolly!

Christmas is a wonderful time of year when we can celebrate with friends and family and take a break from our usual family routines. We do hope that you have a lovely festive season, but we also know that it can be a very testing time as we navigate different family expectations and hopes. We understand that this puts extra strain on parenting. So, as we enter 2023, join us to share ideas and concerns, and to consider simple strategies to support your parenting in the new year. We have a range of evidence-based courses coming up which will equip you with the tools you need to parent more confidently.

Here at Family Matters York we want to wish you and your family a Very Happy Christmas and our warmest wishes that 2023 brings you and your family closer together. We look forward to seeing you in 2023!
