BIRSTALL’S PLAYGROUP for children with special needs provides care for 30 youngsters aged between six weeks to four years.
The playgroup, which runs its sessions in the Methodist Church rooms, has been busy organising fundraising events to buy much needed play equipment.
Playgroup Leader Deborah Hoggar said: “The specialist equipment we need needs to be very robust and suitable for children with very different needs - some of the kids here have sensory difficulties while others have physical disabilities.”
The playgroup, which has been going for more than 30 years, is run by Deborah and 18 volunteer helpers. Children in Need have provided generous funding, the TSB have provided a grant and the Birstall branch of the Alliance & Leicester have donated £100.
