🌸 Blossom & Bloom – Save Our Play Space & Play Sessions 🫶

✨ Help us protect play, connection and support for local families in Rhyl.

Blossom & Bloom was founded on the belief that every family deserves somewhere to turn, somewhere to connect and somewhere they feel welcome, supported and understood.

For years, we have worked tirelessly to support local parents, babies and young children, providing opportunities for little ones to play, learn and grow, while helping parents build friendships, reduce isolation and access support when they need it.

But today, our future yet again is under threat.

💔 The reality facing small charities

Year after year, charities are facing an increasingly challenging funding environment. Grant funding is becoming harder to secure, competition for limited resources continues to grow, and the costs of delivering essential community services remain a significant challenge.

Last year, we had to make difficult decisions to give Blossom & Bloom the best possible chance of survival. We significantly reduced our operational costs and remodelled our delivery to focus on the services we could realistically sustain.

Through determination, community support and an incredible amount of hard work, we raised £60,000 last year alone to keep our charity going.

We have continued to reduce costs wherever possible and increased volunteer involvement across every aspect of our delivery. Our volunteers give their time, energy and commitment to help us continue supporting families. Without them the last 18 months wouldn’t have been possible.

We have cut costs, changed how we work and done everything we can to keep going. Yet, despite these efforts, we are still struggling to remain here in Rhyl 😢

There comes a point where there is simply no more room to cut without losing the very services our community needs.

🧸 Why we need to save our play space and sessions

Our play space and play sessions are about so much more than toys, activities and somewhere for children to spend time.

They create opportunities for children to develop, explore, socialise and build confidence. They give parents the chance to meet others who understand their experiences, form friendships and feel part of their community.

For families experiencing loneliness, financial pressures or challenges with their wellbeing, these connections can make a real difference.

We want to protect opportunities for children to enjoy their early years, and for parents to know they are not facing the journey alone.

Without sufficient funding, these opportunities are at risk.

🌿 How your donation will help

We are launching this JustGiving campaign to help raise vital funds towards sustaining our play space and play sessions.

Every donation, no matter how small, will help us work towards keeping these services available to local families.

Your fundraising and generosity will help us meet the costs involved in delivering our sessions, providing play opportunities and maintaining the welcoming environment that families value.

We cannot promise that fundraising alone will solve every financial challenge, but it will give us a better chance of continuing our work while we explore further funding opportunities and community partnerships.

💗 Please stand with Blossom & Bloom

We are incredibly proud of what Blossom & Bloom has achieved, the families we have supported and the community we have built together.

We do not want to see years of hard work, dedication and positive impact lost because funding can no longer keep pace with the need for support.

We are asking our community, local businesses, funders and everyone who believes in giving children the best possible start to stand alongside us in any way they can.

If you can donate, please do 🫶

If you cannot donate, please share our campaign and help us reach someone who can.
