A BIG LOTTERY BOOST FOR CHILDRENS PLAY

A grant of almost £700,000 has been awarded by the Big Lottery Fund to provide new playgrounds and play initiatives for children across Waltham Forest. The playgrounds in parks in three areas will undergo major transformation as a result of the funding -
Abbots Park and Skeltons Lane Park in Leyton/Leytonstone and Lloyd Park in Walthamstow. There will also be a number of other projects, including seven play days in parks around the borough, which will provide free play services to promote the importance of play for all children and young people.
Congratulations to everyone in the Early Years team who have coordinated the bid for the funding, and together with partner agencies, developed Waltham Forest’s first ever Play Plan.
