Space is the most fun and welcoming place where my Billy absolutely loves to visit. The very first time I walked in I got the most amazing feeling and I knew that Billy was going to love it 💙

All the staff are so kind and caring and make our other 2 sons Max and Teddy feel so welcome and they both love to visit Space to have fun with their brother 💙

I am running the Chester half marathon to raise some money to help Space with their running costs so that they can keep their doors open and keep providing a safe and happy place for families like ours ❤️

So please make a donation ❤️ Your money is going to an amazing place ❤️ And I am so grateful for everyone’s support and thank you to anyone who makes a donation 😊
