| Recipient Org: Description | The aims of the Toy Library are to: - Loan toys, equipment, play sacks and ‘helpful’ sacks to children under 5 years and their families in disadvantaged areas of Frome. - Enable families of all backgrounds to experience a range of toys and equipment that they do not have access to at home. This also helps to reduce the environmental impact of both toy production and waste. - Give children under 5 years the opportunity to play with their peers in a safe environment; improving learning outcomes. - Increase parents’ confidence and self-esteem in playing with their children through play sessions and high quality play packs - Enhance community cohesion through having fun and communication; play sessions include singing time, time for adults to talk, a healthy snack and a sensory activity. - Give families who live in cramped surroundings the opportunity to mix with other families. - Identify families who might need more support to safeguard their children’s development. |
