Recipient Org: Description We are an adventure Playground with halls and outside space providing recreational play for 8-13 year old children. We run an after school club that is mainly attended by children at the local junior schools and various play schemes during school holidays when children come from further afield and include those from secondary schools. Our aim is to provide these children and young people with a safe place where they can learn to interact with others and accept those who are different from themselves as they use all our facilities.The obesity rate at the end of primary schools in Blackbird Leys is 29% yet here at the playground they are able to exercise by having fun. We also aim to provide them, during the after school club with a healthy snack. They play on the structures and have endless fun as they run round often playing imaginary games. A new in-ground trampoline has added to the choice of equipment they can use. Our staff and volunteers are trained in play principles and these encourage children to choose their own activities so that the child can make a choice that fits their mood. One of our objectives is to allow the children who come to be able to find constructive ways of coping with the different feelings they might have. They use the arts and crafts facilities, many table games such as table tennis, table football and pool and will cook and garden as well as use the many outside play structures and equipment The number of people on the estate with no formal educational qualification is high and so our staff and volunteers are able to help and encourage the children to aspire and do well at school. They will sometimes bring homework for staff to look at. We have a good selection of books they can refer to and they quite often can be seen playing schools or offices. The Constitution of Blackbird Leys Adventure Playground states: "The objects of BLAP shall be the provision of play and recreation facilities and other leisure time occupation for children resident in and around Oxford...the facilities being a) those of which children have need by reason of their youth or social and economic circumstances and b) Those which will improve the conditions of life for such children by promoting their physical, mental and spiritual well-being."
