Blackbird Leys Adventure Playground provides after-school and holiday provisions for 8-13 year olds. We also run a monthly Family Saturday programme which is for all ages. For so many families and children on our estate it provides a safe space, encouragement and a much needed play area for our young people. "Somewhere you can make friends and do cool stuff". Most of our children are in receipt of Free School Meals and may live in households where financial and other issues are a persistant problem. BLAP provides opportunities for children to gain confidence, make friends, be creative and have one to one support when needed. Parents frequently tell us how important BLAP is for them; "she's had an amazing time and loves all the people, staff and friends shes made".
