About this cause

We are a community playgroup for 2-3 year olds living in Pencaitland and the surrounding areas. We have been running since the 1960s and offer an affordable alternative to private childcare for local families. We rely heavily on fundraising to keep playgroup open as our fees do not cover our running costs. We employ 2 play leaders with childcare qualifications to provide a safe, stimulating and structured play environment. We also rely on a committee of local volunteers to take on chair, secretary and treasurer roles. (I am the current secretary.) We are seeking support from Co-op causes to help maintain and upgrade our play and storage equipment (which is very well-used!). We and the children would be very grateful for anything you can do to help us. Thank you!

How this cause brings people in the community together

The better an experience we can make playgroup for the children, the more parents & carers will want their children to attend, which in turn means we are more likely to stay open and provide an affordable alternative to more expensive private nurseries for local families.
