Are there any local groups that she would like to go to so she can build a friendship group naturally? Arts & crafts sessions, drama etc. I think this and the above comments is what normally happens. Ive never heard of families matching their children with suitable friends, sorry

If it was my child or a loved ones child hurt & my local community,well say people from the forum offered advice n practical help in these forms,even just a shoulder to cry on it would mean so much. We live in a society where we don't even have to say hi to our neighbours etc etc.... Nothing strange in offering support-lovely in fact. All just love a bit more & hopefully it'll be catching. X

Thankyou for the adventure playground love x

A note to the local community: Incident on Friday the 6th of March on Champion Hill estate. On Friday the 6th of March 2 local young people were assaulted on the Champion Hill estate. Following the assault they ran into the Dog kennel Hill Adventure Playground for help and the staff called the Police & the Ambulance. We would like to clarify that this did not happen at the Adventure Playground. The incident involved other young people who were not from this area. The local young people involved came to us afterwards as they feel safe, secure & protected here. We administered first aid, closed the playground to keep them safe inside before they were taken to hospital. The safety of all children and young people that attend the playground is our top priority at all times. However, once the young people leave the site they are outside of our control and sometimes they do find themselves in difficult situations. All staff are employed as play workers but view their role as so much more than this. We all care, love & are concerned for the well being of our young people and when incidents such as this arise it is deeply saddening for everyone. We feel that this highlights even more the need for the Adventure Playground within the local community and are constantly looking at ways we can be more involved. Below are some of the actions we are planning to put in place: ? A new purpose built building ? Outside gym facilities-not only open to the young people but all local residents at particular times. (Funding has already be secured on this) ? Creative workshops specifically working with the young women to empower them, increasing confidence, improving perceptions of their body image etc ? A youth night specifically for the older kids We really appreciate & need support from local people & businesses (from doing a sponsored run, donating funds,doing a funding application, providing a workshop etc)if this is something you feel you want to be a part please contact Patrick or Kate on [email protected]
