    Payment: Our funding comes from various sources, including fundraising. To keep our sessions running, we kindly ask for a small contribution from each family—whatever you can afford, with a suggested minimum of £5 per session.

    Pavilion information: The pavilion is wheelchair accessible and has disabled toilets. The hand dryers in the toilets are turned off.

    The room is light and nicely decorated with flag bunting and wall artwork. The ceilings are low, and half the room is carpeted, so it is not particularly noisy. There is also a sofa area. Playdough and games will be available in this area. Children are free to move between the areas as they choose.

    From the main room, we have access to a communal kitchen and first aid room. We proThe back doors lead onto a large cricket field, which we can use if our children become overloaded and need a break from the session in warmer weather.

    There is also a children's playground and Multi Use Games Area outside the pavilion.
