BLAP: Call for volunteers
27 January
The Blackbird Leys Adventure Playground needs your help. The group is refurbishing the grounds and premises of the adventure playground and hopes to be open by the beginning of the summer term.
Volunteers are needed to help run the sessions on Monday to Fridays from 3-5pm during term time and during the summer holidays for a four week play scheme.
Sue Price from BLAP said: “We will train all volunteers. We hope to offer training in February and March and all volunteers will be CRB checked so we know all are safe to work with children.
“No qualifications are necessary only a willingness to help children aged from eight to 13 as they play and learn new skills. BLAP will have a gardening and cooking area, an arts and craft centre, outdoor play and organised games. We could even offer music sessions as we have steel drums and guitars. Grandparents might also like to help the young people build dens, mend bikes, garden or cook, and we hope that parents might like to spend one session a week with us.”
Sue added: “People currently looking for employment might also find the training helpful as an addition to their CV, and we aim to work on Olympic and Jubilee themes during the summer.”
