ace to visit
The secret’s out, each visit’s a blast and a mysterious place has spells to be cast…
Billed as an Apothecary to the
Magical, an unusual and enchanting business supplying quirky and quality goods and services to magical beings (non-mortals to you and me) has been nominated for a
top tourist industry award without so much as waving a wand in the direction of judges. All will be revealed as darkness
falls on Monday 12th November when Grimm & Co will join other nervous competitors in Harrogate to discover if it’s scooped the accolade of Small Attraction of the Year in the Welcome to Yorkshire White Rose Awards. As a relative newcomer, which
may have been stealthily founded in 1148 but only shed its cloak of invisibility a short time later in 2016, Grimm and Co will be up against some very tough competition. But woe betide the challengers to
the title, need we say more? Staff at Grimm’s couldn’t be
happier with the nomination as the
hauntingly good news follows a string of successes after it recently won accolades in the Barnsley and Rotherham Chamber annual awards. It scooped the coveted Leisure and Tourism award, was highly commended in the Charity of the Year category and is now hoping the latest contest will deliver a (witch’s) hat-trick.

What is adoption?
As adoptive parents, you will provide a permanent family for a child who cannot live with their birth parents and take on all legal rights and responsibilities
Can I adopt? Adoption is open to more people than you may think
If you can provide a loving, stable home then we see potential in all applicants You can be:
• Single, in a relationship or married • Hetrosexual or LGBT • From any ethnic or religious background • Working, unemployed or retired • Homeowner or renting • Already have children or not (adoptive children should be at least 2 years younger than any other children)
If you are over 21 with adequate space in your home and no previous convictions of certain offences, you have a good chance of being accepted
How long does the process take? Adoption is a positive, two-stage journey that takes around 6 months to complete
Stage One – 2 months • Checks and references undertaken
• Learning and training sessions supported by your allocated social worker Stage Two – 4 months
• Regular assessments to prepare you for the adoption panel • 4 training days including birth family contact and family finding information • Suitability recommendation • Family finding to identify children whose needs you’re able to meet You will receive continuous support once matched with the right child for you
