For the first time in 38 years Thames Valley Adventure Playground has had to stop our vital work with the thousands of children and adults with special needs and their families and carers we annually support in the local and wider special needs community. The Covid 19 pandemic has resulted in almost a complete ceasing of our income, with halt of fundraising events, decreased receipt of donations and until the 1st of July, the temporary closure of the playground itself, which means no contributions. Whilst our fingers are crossed that our planned fundraising events will proceed at a later date, there is currently a financial gap we need to fill to be able to continue supporting the children and adults who visit us.

We are delighted to be tentatively reopening again and really look forward to a time when we can provide the usual respite, sanctuary and support to our beneficiaries, who rely on us so much.

Unfortunately, this pandemic has also brought about the need for us to purchase products and consumables to keep our beneficiaries and staff safe. Which, together with social distancing, means an increase in our costs whilst a decrease in our income.

As a small charity we need your support, now more than ever, to get through this difficult time, and as such we are asking if you would consider giving a one off financial gift to help safeguard the future of the Playground, anything you could give large or small, would be so gratefully received.

Thank you!
