Welcome to our new Inclusive Play Area

26th September 2017

We have officially launched our new inclusive play area at a grand opening event held at Paces on Monday.

The play area has been specially designed to enable children of all abilities to play together. Costing £25,000, the project has been in development for three years with the views of children of all abilities, their parents and community groups from across the area central to the plans. When they were asked what they would like to see in the play area, the overwhelming response was for a play space that felt happy, relaxed, inclusive and welcoming to both children and parents with activities that were fun, interactive, sociable and stimulating. At the launch event, children and their parents came together with community leaders and supporters to see the new play area and try it out for the first time. Thank you to Irwin Mitchell for their continued support at the event - including Andy Chubb from the firm who came to take the amazing photographs. We were also joined by Paces' ambassadors from Sheffield United first team midfielder Chris Basham and ladies' team player Kim Brown. Read the full story from our launch event here
