These Power of Play sessions provided a rich and exciting environment where adults and their children could get active, develop skills, and most importantly have fun, in a safe and creative play area.

 

 

The sessions also provided additional support with talking and communication skills, building children’s confidence and independence, supporting their readiness for nursery or school.

Open to local families in the LBTH North West catchment area, the sessions were great fun for all involved – children and their carers enjoyed music making, storytelling and arts activities.

 

 

WE LIVE IN A SMALL HOME AND MY CHILD DOESN’T HAVE MUCH SPACE TO PLAY AND HAVE FUN! COMING TO SESSIONS HELPS HIM TO USE HIS ENERGY, MAKE FRIENDS AND PRACTICE HIS CREATIVE SKILLS.

Over the course of the year, we were thrilled to welcome funders Save the Children and LEGO to our building. In September the Save the Children team joined us for a tour of Rich Mix – meeting the team, getting an insight into the sessions and seeing how their support is enabling our work with local families.

 

 

Later that same month, we also welcomed a team of volunteers from LEGO who kindly helped us transform our yard into a colourful community garden to host future family workshops.

 

 

We had such a great time – despite the classic British rainy weather – and the yard is looking amazing. Ready for more family fun into 2025 and beyond!

A huge thank you to Save the Children and LEGO for their support.
