According to the UN Charter for Children's Play, 'children should be able to play freely in their local areas and sometimes need extra support to enjoy their right to play'

From a questionnaire circulated to Appleshaw, Redenham and Clanville residents in June 2008 we received an overwhelming response.  It highlighed a major need for an updated play area.  You can read the results HERE.

The OUR NEW PLAYGROUND Project was set up to raise the funds to make a playground which the community can be proud of and which will be an enduring source of enjoyment for many years.

When forming the team in November 2008 we set our selves some clear objectives for what we were tryin to achieve. These can be on the Our Objectives page of this web site or by clicking here
