Choose What We Do Club

Choose What We Do Club, a year-long project in partnership with ELEVATE and LEAP has now finished.

For the past year, Whippersnappers has been offering free activities to Lambeth pre-school children with additional needs and their families. Alongside the project, we have been conducting research with the aim to open up more discussions around how the creative arts can be used to support the well-being of young children with additional needs and their families. We will be publishing the research soon.

Whilst the project may be finished, we do hope to continue to provide some inclusive messy play and music workshops for families with pre–school SEND children at College Lodge in Dulwich Park and Brockwell Lido in Brockwell Park. Funded places are available for those eligible. If you wish to join please contact cburghard@whippersnappers.org

Thank you to all our partners that made this project possible and for your continued support.
