02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
We are set up to provide a fun and welcoming environment for babies and toddlers/pre-schoolers to play, learn, share, and interact in a group setting. We also provide companionship for parents and carers of the children. We rent a village hall weekly during term time where we set out a variety of toys suitable for ages 0-5 years, and provide healthy snacks for children and tea and coffee for adults. We also hold seasonal parties, and fundraisers for the charity.
