In 2017, a local key service closed down. So, they pitched a tent in a back garden!
⛺ When a critical local service vanished, Leanne Reid didn’t accept the loss, instead she founded The Very Inclusive Play Club in a 4 man tent.
Today, it’s an award-winning community based at Bridgend Farmhouse. No diagnosis required, just pure acceptance.
“It feels very much like a place where we belong – like home” 🏠
With over 25 years experience working with children who have additional support needs, VIP Club has become a lifeline for many, as well as creating some of the most important milestones in some parents lives, including Liam signing crocodile and saying his name for the first time! 👋
