We absolutely love collaborating with others to ensure that our beneficiaries and receiving the best experience and support that they can.

We also collaborate with local colleges to support students with their learning, offer work experience opportunities and volunteering opportunities.

    By donating just £4, you are enabling a family in need to have a meal deal/hot meal during their session.

    £8 enables a child and parent/s entry to a session, where they will be able to communicate with others, play imaginatively and form friendships, reducing isolation and developing social and communication skills.

    £12 enables a whole family entry to the role play village, where they can ignite their imaginations, enjoy playing creatively together, form friendships and also enjoy activities on offer.

    £20 enables a family to have entry plus meal deals and drinks at the venue.

    £180 enables us to pay for a 3 hours session, including 3 staff members and bills, so providing jobs and helping the economy, as well as providing educational and wellbeing sessions for families.

    £380 enables us to run a session with a provider included, enhancing sessions further.

FUNDERS

We are really grateful to our funders. They enable us to keep costs down for families, who wouldn’t be able to access the sessions and support that we offer otherwise. We regularly send out questionnaires, complete surveys at the venue and ask for verbal feedback, which we then evaluate to ensure that we are meeting the communities needs. Funded sessions at Heol Chwarae Rol - Role Play Lane are well attended and received, and often have waiting lists, showing the need for our service.
