The Challenge Playgroup is special. It is run for children with additional needs and for their siblings, parents and carers. Having a child with additional needs can make you feel isolated from the rest of the community, and there you can talk with other parents with similar issues.

The toys are all imaginatively chosen providing an environment for play and relaxation. A dedicated team of volunteers include an occupational therapist, a physiotherapist and a child psychotherapist run and organise the group.

The Challenge Playgroup runs from 10am until 11.30am every Friday during term time Friday at St. James’ Church Hall and is free of charge.
