Revitalise Carterton Family Centre published their Delivery Report!5 months ago
At Carterton Family Centre we offer a weekly programme of low-cost activities for families in the local area to reduce loneliness and provide opportunities for play for young children.
Every week we offer a programme of activities providing a low cost (we only ask for a £1 donation per person) and inclusive place for families to engage with their children and meet other families. We offer two baby groups per week, a soft play session, two stay & play sessions for children up to 5 and a new homework club for primary school aged children. We currently have an average of 240 adults and 330 children per month attending our sessions who come from Carterton, Witney and the surrounding villages. During school holidays we offer low-cost activities for families with primary-school aged children. We are seeking funding in order to expand what we offer to the local community, refresh our tired toys and equipment and get new play facilities for our outside space.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
Our sessions provide a safe and welcoming place for parents and carers to bring their young children. We provide a listening ear to those going through difficulties and sign-post to other agencies who are able to help with specific issues. Having young children at home can be a lonely experience and having a place to come and meet other parents helps combat social isolation and improve mental health. Our sessions provide numerous benefits for babies and children including: - Social development through interacting with peers - Language development through songs and rhyme - Cognitive development through play - Physical development through balancing and climbing over soft-play equipment - Building confidence through meeting new people Carterton Family Centre is also used by other organisations including APCAM, Purple Advisory Care (SEN support) and the health visiting team so your support will be even further reaching.

Volunteer
Carterton Family Centre run a weekly timetable of low-cost activities for families with young children in the local area, offering a safe and welcoming place for parents and carers to bring their children. We provide sessions to help parents to engage with their children, helping to foster a bond through songs and play.
Our sessions help to further children's development and early education through play and by offering opportunities to interact with their peers.
Our sessions help to combat social isolation and loneliness by providing an inclusive place for people to meet other parents, to share and encourage one another in the challenges of parenthood. For those needing etxtra support we sign-post to relevant organisations.
We are running this campaign as we rely on external funding to run the family centre. We only ask for £1 donation per person to attend our sessions as we believe that we are a vital resource for the community and do not want cost to be a barrier. However, our toys and equipment are tired and in need of refreshing. We would love to be able to buy new equipment for our garden area for families to make use of our outdoor space. We would also like to buy blinds for our hall so that we can expand what we offer in the future such as light sensory sessions for babies and children with SEND and the possibility of offering discos for young people. We also employ 5 memers of staff to run our centre and need ongoing funding to continue to be able to run our sessions.
Thank you for considering supporting Carterton Family Centre as we look to continue our work with families in the local area.
