Sharing Resources with Ghana
We have just shipped over a wheelchair and a walker which Nicola Garrett donated, and will be given to Esther, a 6-year-old girl with Cerebral Palsy in Ghana. We used some of our profit from the Grotto to pay for the shipping.
Healthy Living Platform
This year we have collaborated with Healthy Living Platform to provide free food for the children and families attending our afterschool club.
Thank you to Nevin and Yusuf!
Choose What We Do Club

Our early years SEND project funded by LEAP and ELEVATE has developed into a really interesting parent-led research project.
Saturday Club staff have been babysitting preschool SEND children while their parents have been attending arts, crafts, well-being, and consultations sessions at College Lodge. We will be inviting parents, funders, and counselors for a showcase event at Lambeth Town Hall on Thursday 30th March.
We are still continuing our early years SEN Stay and Play session at Benton Lane children’s center on Wednesdays at 1.15pm to 2.45pm. To join, email cburghard@whippersnappers.org
