Play Patch is run according to LNT’s values of being welcoming, community-led, inclusive, connective and collaborative. We aim to create a safe and welcoming environment for all children to experience fun, active, creative play. Along with affordable, balanced meals, this promotes health, sensorimotor and social development.
Play Patch provides a space for parents to meet and support each other, and become part of the wider community. If you would like to use Play Patch for a community event or specialised provision, please do get in touch with us on playpatch@lockleazent.co.uk.
