Our 8rants included funding for Specialist equipment. outdoor play, sensory play equlpment. craft materlals, performing arts visits and days Out. The Trustees have generally preferred to make 8rants for identified Items of equlpment, or specified material projects. rather than to contribute to general running expenses. Grants are usually between £5CKJ and £3,CIJO, but during 2024-2025, following a major Strateg review, a decision was taken to make a 8rant of £100,0 to Newlife, the Charity for Disabled Children to fund a pilot community playscheme project. Followln8 the success of this pilot. the Trustees agreed to grant further £675.OlXI to Newlrfe in early 2026 to enable the launch of a Communfty Play Service, "Play for All".

The grant funding not only opened the doors to high quality toys and equipment. but through the training and education provided by Newlife's play specialist, the ntre$ were able to maximise the potential of the play resources.
On the back of the success of the pilot programme. the Trustees agreed to transfer a further £675,iJX) to Newlrfe in early 2026, bein8 the remainder of the Dorothy Pamela Smith legacy funds, as a grant to enable a wider. national roll out of Community Play. over a number of years. providing opportunities for play for children with complex neuro disabilities which would otherwise have been out of reach. It has been a privilege to work with Newlife and see the positive effect the specialist play equipment can bring to these children and groups, and we are delighted the Dorothy Pamela Smith CIO can help Newlife to take this project forward.
