What the charity does

Marlow Opportunity Playgroup is a pre-school setting for children with special needs. This CIO has been set up for the future use of the charity which is still operating as an unicorporated charity (number 1108650). We are waiting for a new Ofsted registration before we start operating as a CIO.
