Go to the project
Project Play Wheels delivered by local charity Ambition Aspire Achieve will provide 2 mobile play vans stocked with a wide range of play equipment and teams of play workers, targeting streets, local parks and estates in Custom House and Canning Town, especially where there are no appropriate indoor venues/current opportunities for young people, offering organised play activities, support, guidance and a bridge into ongoing constructive opportunities.
The project will deliver regular pop-up play sessions on Sundays during term-times and additional sessions during school holiday breaks. Each session will be delivered by 3 playworkers, who will provide fun, engaging activities and workshops, fully utilising a wide variety of exciting resources, equipment, games and play kits delivered by our mobile play vans.
Addressing the ‘Youth Activities & Education’ priority, the project’s main objective is to facilitate participative play opportunities that are fun to be involved in and actively support the progression and development of local children/young people, particularly those who are vulnerable, enabling them to:
- Build their confidence, esteem and resilience
- Develop core skills and learn new skills
- Make new friendships
- Celebrate the multiculturalism of Newham
- Improve their physical and mental wellbeing
