We are looking to expand upon our valuable summer programme, which targets multiple disadvantaged groups within the community, and deliver a free family event for the public to attend. We propose an all-day event at Barassie Beach suitable for primary aged children and families. This funding would be used to contract UnderSky to deliver imaginative and story-led beach-based play sessions bringing children and families together for active intergenerational play. Each session will be bookable.
