Isle of Play says referrals have increased
Children who have been deprived of play and positive early childhood experiences can benefit from a new project pioneered by Isle of Play.
'Play Paths' supports young people with a wide range of behavioural and developmental issues.
The scheme is delivered outdoors - at either the Woodland Forest School site or Lester’s Yard Adventure Playground facility.
Chief executive Chris Gregory says children are playing less and less in our society:
The Manx Lottery Trust has provided £50,000 for the project.
Chairman Stephen Turner said: "We were pleased to award Isle of Play funding from last year’s Thematic Fund, ‘Together for better’.
"This exciting new project will be a wonderful asset to the local community and will certainly make a long-lasting impact on the young people involved."
