Introducing the Play Rangers!
Young people in Charnwood are to benefit from an exciting new mobile play project.
The Charnwood Mobile Play Project, funded by the Big Lottery Children’s Play Initiative Programme, will deliver free open access play activities for youngsters up to the age of 16 and their families throughout the borough.
To deliver the mobile play project, Charnwood Borough Council have successfully appointed two play rangers.
They will be responsible for providing a wide range of play opportunities in a variety of settings including parks and open spaces, village halls, community centres and street settings.
They are now delivering a full Programme spanning across the Borough, visiting places and showing those that turn up the wide range of play opportunities on your doorsteps.
The mobile play project will deliver a range of exciting open access drop in play sessions both structured and informal.
Sessions will include both passive and physical play activities such as dance to music, sports, physical activity, arts and crafts, drama, nature-based play, play days, nature trails, story telling, soft play activities, team games and much more.
Cllr Jane Hunt, Charnwood’s Champion for Play, welcomed the appointment of Matt Forsyth and added: “The Big Lottery Children’s Play Initiative Funding will enable us to offer some really exciting and innovative play opportunities for young people across the Borough. I hope the mobile play rangers will make a real difference to the lives of Charnwood’s children and young people.”
Leisure Services would love to hear from anyone who can help to create positive opportunities for children.
