My son has ridden a bike here for the first time. I never thought that this would happen!

Although my child can’t speak he starts clapping and smiling when we turn into your street as he knows he is going to Our Space.

Our Space is our happy place.

Our Space is a hidden gem.

Our Space is like a safe haven.

Community

Our Space is more than just a charity, it is a family

Please consider making a donation. Your gift will help to ensure that disabled children can access a safe and welcoming space to play.

As a charity we receive no government funding and we rely on the kind support of our community to keep our charity open for the hundreds of families that visit us each year. Without this support, many parents have told us that they would struggle to find a safe, secure and understanding place for their child to play.
