St Paul’s Adventure Playground
St Pauls Adventure playground is hosting weekly, free of charge Saturday morning ‘stay and play’ sessions for SEND children and their siblings. The stay and play approach means that children must be accompanied by a parent or adult carer. The nature of the playground and its associated activities means that these sessions would best suit those aged 5 to 15 years however we would be very happy for parents to use their own discretion if their children are outside of this age range. These sessions take place between 10.00am and midday every week including school holidays (except Christmas). We have secured funding to run these sessions for two years and we hope that this can build into something more sustainable longer term. There is plenty of on-street free parking and we have 2 fully access toilets plus a kitchen that is free to use. We have lots of accessible and sensory play equipment and our 3 on site staff are trained and experienced in this field. We hope to see you at the playground soon!

And finally…
If you are looking for a great local project to support for a sponsored silence, sponsored run, sponsored marathon, sponsored parachute jump (!!!) then please consider SENDaWelcome. SENDaWelcome is run by a small group of volunteers and we have so many great project ideas waiting to happen to increase the opportunities for local children with SEND and their families. Thank you to those who continue to support us with fund-raising and general good cheer!
