Birstall Playgroup for Children with Special Needs
Social Inclusion
We would like to buy specialist toys and equipment for the group including sensory equipment.
About this cause
All children learn and explore the world through play. Play is about having fun, getting messy, being creative, solving problems, sharing and joining in. At Birstall Playgroup for Children with Special Needs we believe all children have the right to play regardless of a child’s additional needs or disability. We provide two play sessions on Monday and Friday mornings from 9.30 to 11.30 a.m with qualified staff.We are opening during school term time. The sessions are free and we also have a coffee room for any parent who wishes to stay and chat with other parents. When a child is diagnosed with a disability it can be a difficult time for parents. Very often they feel isolated so meeting up with other parents with similar issues can be a real help.
How this cause brings people in the community together
We have qualified staff and can cater for a range of special needs. Some children need medical care and we are able to cater for their needs too. We are unique in that we can help children that are unable to access the usual play groups provided.
