Little Play World is a charitable community organisation that supports children with special educational needs. Recently, their hard work paid off when they were awarded a stunning grant of £46,800! This funding aims to enhance activities for children with disabilities in Herefordshire, providing essential resources for both youngsters and their families.
With this grant, Little Play World will be able to provide a safe, supportive environment in which all children can grow. Nikki Stroud, a spokesperson from Little Play World, shared how this funding would make a difference. Most importantly, it will improve the lives of children with special needs and their parents. Families will be able to explore a safe environment made for open-ended, inclusive play experiences. This environment will foster innovation and collaboration.
Councillor Ivan Powell, cabinet member for children and young people, welcomed the move. He stressed that the grant will allow families to do whatever they need to do, customized to their individual needs. Such support will lead to new opportunities, experiences, and relationships. “The activities take place in a safe learning environment,” he stated, noting that this supportive setting is crucial for the development of children with special educational needs.
Little Play World is just one of the grantees supported by the Together for Our Planet Community grant alongside Look UK and Wordful Speech and Language Therapy Service. These institutions have exciting plans to expand their programming and reach. Their goals are to provide more enriching and exciting learning experiences for kids who frequently get shortchanged in other formal educational settings.
This funding will allow for a variety of activities that will meet the different developmental needs of children with disabilities. The program provides a supportive environment in which children learn and play together. It not only empowers them, it takes the edge off some of the stressors their mothers and fathers face.
