Help to build a mud kitchen

Description

Bright Sparks is a registered charity. It was established in 1998 and operates within Midlothian.

The Bright Sparks mission is “To provide valuable, involved, inclusive and quality based child and family oriented services which includes playgroup, holiday activities and after school support for children with complex additional needs and their families.”

The charity is fully grant dependent and run by a Management Committee made up of parent volunteers. We are a group of passionate parents trying to make a difference within our community, as we face the same daily challenges with our own children’s disabilities as our families who attend do. The opportunities and activities that we deliver aren’t widely available locally.

We would like to have a mud kitchen installed in our large outside garden area. This could either be a purpose build one or a premade mud kitchen. We currently have one in our small garden area and it is extremely well used. Our large garden area is an area that is accessed by all the children attending the centre during our youth club times and during our Easter & Summer programmes.

The benefit of the mud kitchen allows for imaginary play, sensory play, and cognitive growth.
