How Under-Fives Services Help Children
- Many young children have had little opportunity to interact with others of their age due to lockdowns. Healthy development is directly linked to children socialising and playing with others.
- Under-fives’ speech and language delay is a cause for concern. Drop-ins can provide effective stimulation for communication and language development.
- Drop-ins offer a gateway to other specialist services.
- Many families have no parents currently in work. Children under five are disproportionately affected by low incomes.
Sponsor a child with weekly support
Every child deserves a chance in life. Early years are an absolutely critical time for child development.
By donating £20 a month, you can support one child’s free place at our under-fives sessions. This is invaluable for children who don’t otherwise have access to free play sessions, and will transform their future prospects.
Remember your loved one and make a difference for a child under five
A donation in honour of a loved one ensures their memory lives on, at the same time as providing services for children.
