| Recipient Org: Description | We provide local play and leisure opportunities to disabled children and young people (CYP). Aiming to create inviting, engaging and accessible play spaces. Spaces, where children can feel at ease in their surroundings, exploring the environment on their own terms. Spaces, where diversity and play are experienced as beneficial and essential to the healthy development of the child within their community. We view ‘play’, as an innate drive for the development of the human child, disability limits the CYP opportunity to freely access provision that support this need; therefore they need support and interventions to give them the opportunity to take risks, be imaginative and creative, following their own instincts in response to the world. Children’s imaginations, spontaneity and creativity is valued and supported by adults whose work and values are based on The Playwork Principals (Play England/Skills Active). Viewing play as crucial to a child’s development, we create environments that are child centred and flexible enough to meet individual needs and interests; so CYP can begin to flourish and fulfil their potential. Running play schemes during the school holidays for disabled children and their siblings (5-12yrs), Saturday Play and Youth Sessions every alternate throughout the year (5-25 yrs) and specialist afterschool sessions, at Hamilton Special School Birmingham. This presents opportunities for CYP to experience a range of environments and activities to increase their sense of health and wellbeing. These opportunities enable the development of social skills and peer relationships. Through inclusion we reduce the social isolation experienced by CYP and their families as a result of exclusion. Our children and their families experience isolation due to a range of factors; these include disability, ethnic and economic disadvantage. All our services are, aimed at reducing the isolation of disabled CYP in their community. |
