Have you been to Puppet Playtime this year and met our amazing volunteer, Sam?

We’d love to say a huge thank you to Samantha Ng, who has been an enormous help supporting Puppet Playtime this year. Sam wrapped up her time with us last week, and it's safe to say she’ll be dearly missed!

We’re always on the lookout for enthusiastic volunteers to join us.
