We currently provide specialist and inclusive holiday play opportunities for children with profound complex needs.attending The Livity School and Chery Gardens School.

In Feb 2010 we successfully won a tender to deliver Disability Awareness training to Lambeth play settings. In 2011 Lambeth recommissioned us to deliver a “Lets Get Inclusive” training programme for Lambeth nurseries, childminders, foster carers, after school clubs and youth settings.
