PLAY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

The project supports the development of play opportunities within communities and geographical areas where access to play opportunities is limited. It also has a soft play room offering free drop in sessions for disabled and disadvantaged children and their families in an area of acute deprivation.  The new soft play room offers a seperate multi use space for arts and crafts, reading and further play.  We have an experienced Play Supervisor on hand to lead sessions with parent/carers and children and to offer help and advice about how you can facilitate play independently.  For further information contact Joseph on

Youth & Play Development:

Part of the Play development project this service delivers sessions in creative drama and dance to young people 5-11 and urban projects in street dance and fusion projects for the 11+ group. Sessions explore modern drama and movement techniques popular in youth culture, offering young people the chance to build on existing artistic skills and to develop new tools. Sessions encourage self expression, creativity and exploratory physical methods through the performing arts. The service encourages the participation of young people and recognises the importance of their voices in continuing development work.

COMMUNITY BUSINESS LINKS-funded by Tudor Trust

The project aims to help families on low income, by finding them low cost and refubished goods such as white goods, second hand furniture and baby clothes. Also if you are a community project or business that needs good quality yet cheap office furniture and computers, this project can help. The project not only helps you but doing so reduces waste in London.
