SENsational Saturday Club (0-15yrs) – Marble Hill Playcentres, Twickenham
September 7 @ 10:00 am - 11:45 am BST
FreeAll children need to play and be active. Play is essential to the healthy, physical, social and emotional development of all children, and a fundamental part of childhood. Children with disabilities need to play as much as their non-disabled peers. Indeed the benefits of play and physical activity can be even greater than for other children so it is vital they do not miss out.
On every first Saturday of the month throughout the year, from 10am – 11.45am the SENsational Saturday Club offers children from 0 – 15 years, with disabilities or additional needs, time to explore the Adventure Playground with their families/carers. And it’s FREE! SENsational Saturday sessions are also open and free to the siblings of children with additional needs. Siblings too, need the opportunity to choose to play either with their brother or sister or to have some, often much needed time to explore and engage in their own play.
Sessions give parents and carers an opportunity to take some time out and chat to other parents while the children are free to explore, socialise and learn through play in a fun but safe environment. Over the years parents and carers have developed an active social group, sharing information and advice or just lending a friendly ear to each other.
Experienced and dedicated playworkers are on site throughout the sessions to run activities, play games and offer a little respite for those who might need it. They make full use of all of the rope swings, cook together, build dens and get messy with lots of craft and making activities.
These 2 hour sessions are free, but any donations that enable MHP to continue and improve this much loved and essential service to local families are always needed and much appreciated.
Everyone needs to register before entering the SENsational Saturday Club and PRE BOOK the session you wish to attend – please note that you will not be able to drop in due to Covid safe site procedures. This is to make sure that they have safe numbers of people on site and the right contact details in case of emergency. This is also to provide information about usage that they need for their funders.
