## **ANNUAL REPORT September 2022** 


This photo says a lot about this last year – hot, busy, hard work but great fun! We say it every year – ‘so much has happened’ but it really has.  The best thing has been able to be open again without restricting numbers and giving children every opportunity to rebuild their confidence and resilience post-Covid. We have become more aware than ever at how naturally therapeutic self-directed play is and to see how 



children are working out their feelings in their playing and instinctively doing what they need to do to ‘feel better’.  It has also been a year of internal upheaval and change.  We have been lucky to a) have proper office and meeting space for the first time (courtesy of HS2) and b) to have Janet Down working with us as a consultant and enabling us to do all those ‘backroom’ jobs that have needed doing, like policy review, strategic planning, improved employment procedures and so on.  This has meant changing a lot of the way we have done things in the past which has been both tough and exciting and we are now looking to recruit a General Manager so that the playground continues to be well managed going forward. Having invested in 

more time for staff to talk and reflect and undertake training has also been enormously beneficial for everyone and has definitely improved the quality of all our work with children, young people and families. Big thanks to all our staff – especially Ellen and Penny – for hard work, staying power, energy, diligence, conscientiousness and big hearts. 

Trustees are currently: **Ali Wood John Freeman Mark Wilson Mac Clarke         David Wood       Marcus Brain** 

We have sadly lost three trustees this year – Sarah Evans, whose free time got much reduced by her job and studies, Mary Painting, who has retired after being our hard-working and wonderful treasurer for ten years and Tracey Brant, whose new job and grandparenting duties have really decreased her time.  We wish them all well and will miss them greatly for all contributions over the years.  We are therefore recruiting – we need both a treasurer and a secretary – please get in touch if you want to know more and/or can work with us! 

Staff over the last year have been: **Ellen Delaney –** Play Team & Site Manager **Penny Keeling –** Youth Team Manager **Paula Madden –** Senior Playworker **Andy Matthews** – Senior Playworker **Clair Meares** – Therapeutic Playworker **Jo Battista** – Admin/Finance Officer **Patrycja Nedza –** Finance Officer **Ashley Bagnall –** Playworker **Kevin Johnson** - Playworker **Hannah Aziz –** Part-time Playworker/Youthworker **Sharron Elliott –** Sessional Playworker **Dionne Morrison –** Sessional Youthworker **Adrian Blissett-Rose** – Sessional Youthworker **Ozzy Morgan –** Sessional youthworker **Matt Lyon** – Sessional Youthworker **Courtney Milburn** – Sessional Youthworker **Sarah Hulbert** – Adventure Tots playworker **Rachel Symonds** – Holiday playworker **Hattie McDevitt-Smith -** Holiday playworker **Molly Delaney** – Holiday playworker **Sam Simmons** – Holiday playworker **Luke Walford** – Holiday playworker **Misha Keeling** – Holiday playworker **Jack Madden** – Holiday playworker **Jason Hulme** – Holiday playworker **Darcey Aziz** – Holiday playworker **Katie Corbett -** Holiday playworker **Leighanne Thacker** - Holiday playworker **Angela Rainbow** - Holiday playworker **Lynette Osbourne** - Holiday playworker **Tasha Williams** - Holiday playworker **Jenny Robinson** – Playscheme cook **Naomi Taylor** – Assistant cook **Linda Grinnell** – Assistant cook **Claire Lesley –** Assistant cook 

We couldn’t fully operate without our remarkable volunteers in either the kitchen, the swapshop, behind the desk or out on the playground watching children or doing maintenance work – they are all wonderful and over the last year have included: 

|Sarah Hulbert|Claire Lesley|Rebekah Rebolo|Nikki Brady|

## **We are also grateful to:** 

Sainsburys for their wonderful help with donating food, Easter eggs, equipment and money Steve Breese our accountant who has stepped into the breach many times with advice and help Rick Graney from CAMHS for working with us in recognising the therapeutic benefits of play Greggs for their ongoing donations of unsold food for youth sessions James Eckloff of Birmingham Water Solutions for free monthly water monitoring Matt and Lewis from Magic Square Systems for their patience in developing our registration system HS2 for funding and furnishing our converted containers 

Phoenix Roofing who repaired the vandalised Swapshop roof for free 

Mark Bates for organising Go Fund Me which has paid for family day trips to the seaside this summer Mayflex, Kallik and Business Volunteers for coming to do corporate volunteering and helping with much needed repair and maintenance jobs on site 

Gary at Pied Piper for continuing to deal with wasps & hornets nests free of charge Tracey Johnson and her dad for raising £500 for us to help with resources Simon and Kayleigh from R & J Whippy for their donation and support Steve Poole for organising and bringing regular school groups during term-time 

SMBC for organising an emergency call-out to connect a new cooker on Day 1 of playscheme All those local businesses who sponsored our calendar pages or who house collection boxes for us and all those wonderful people who have donated raffle prizes, wood, food and a host of other items – thanks! 

## **Highlights of 2021-2022** 

## **Playschemes** 

We have continued to have HAF funding in school holidays which enables us to take on extra seasonal staff, offer a wider range of activities and to provide food for all those who come. Our very willing and seemingly unphased cook and assistant are getting a reputation for great vegan meals that children really like! The whole staff team have been amazing this summer finding creative ways to cope with the extreme heat on an unshaded outdoor site.  Holidays have continued to be hugely busy whatever the time of year and for the first time we have had to turn people away (which we hate doing).  We are the only adventure playground for miles in all directions and so people come from further afield in holiday times and there is no sign of this abating as families tell other families about us. We need more community playgrounds! 

## **Indoor Space** 

However did we operate without our converted containers?!  We now have desks and filing cabinets and somewhere warm to talk!  We just need to improve our wifi going forward and are researching how to do this.  The downstairs space has also been very popular with young people to chill out, to chat, play music, pool and other games and to house working lunches with our CAMHS colleagues and it will no doubt encourage more parents of pre-schoolers to continue to come to Adventure Tots and to our parent training workshops this coming winter. 





## **Therapeutic play** 

On top of our regular sessions with CAMHS, our therapeutic playworker Clair (rechristened by staff as the Queen of Gloop!) has been offering and encouraging greater use of sensory materials like paint, foam, slime and water beads and it has been amazing watching children – of all ages – naturally respond to this and instinctively use these in a way that clearly forges emotional expression and brings about greater inner calm.  Clair has been slowly documenting the stories and images from all this and has now presented these at two national playwork conferences which has provoked great interest.  We do keenly feel a sense of responsibility to record and share the evidence of how deeply therapeutic and necessary self-directed play is. 



## **Swapshop** 

Our community swapshop survived a break-in before Christmas – both local businesses and the community stepped into the breach and raised both funds and replacement Christmas presents and we had enough left over to take four coaches of families for free to Barry Island for the day in the summer – where huge fun was had by all. The lovely volunteers who run Swapshop have simultaneously been making and selling hotdogs and cuppas and quietly raising extra funds for us whilst meeting the needs of families wanting to swap or cheaply purchase school uniforms, clothes, books, shoes and toys. 

## **Youth** 

Twice-weekly Youth Nights have continued all year and have been at capacity.  We have both lost and gained some sessional staff but currently have a vibrant and committed youth team who go the extra mile in supporting young people. This year has seen an increase in sensory and art activities and in ongoing discussions around mental health, as well as giving young people the opportunity to just play and be themselves. 





We don’t tend to associate play with young people, but they need it just as much and have been having a ball!  We also began a third night for specific young people at risk who were in need of greater 1-1 support. This has been a new project involving staff from MAPA, Fitcap, Gro-Organic and the Youth Offending Service which in itself has improved sharing information and best practice as well as making a real difference for the smaller number of young people who have been referred to the project. 

## **Forest School – John Muir award** 

Gaining Andy has enabled us to run forest school programmes and to pilot the John Muir Environmental Award with incoming school groups which have been a resounding success.  Paula is about to start her forest school leadership training too and so these projects are now an ongoing part of each week’s activities in both the playground and the bowling green and woods next door. This has also enabled greater tool use by children in open sessions to make all manner of things – mallets, pool cues, reindeers, wands, bird boxes and benches – all great fun but also gaining real skills in the process and a greater understanding of wildlife and biodiversity too. 



## **Online registration platform** 

Courtesy of HAF funding, we were able to work with Magic Square Systems to develop a bespoke online registration system, which has been life changing after years of a clunky manual system that took hundreds of hours of staff time and meant long queues to get in.  The new system enables people to register either before or at a first-time visit and then use a QR code to sign in and out thereafter.  It is now almost fully tweaked to do everything we need it to do and we absolutely love it. 

## **Training** 

This year we were able to finally run our Play/Physical Literacy project funded by Sport England.  This entailed working alongside Circus Mash in Kings Heath, Birmingham, with our staff undertaking a brilliant (and hysterically funny) couple of days training in circus skills and buying in a pile of circus ‘kit’ including unicycles, stilts, a trapeze and silks, which has increased play possibilities on site and been great fun. We have also run a new playwork course for junior staff and volunteers to equip them to have paid work during school holidays – thanks to Children in Need for funding this. 

Staff have been busy doing more in depth courses on safeguarding and trauma informed practice and Makaton workshops, as well as updating their first aid and food safety certificates. The play team has also been working their way through ‘Quality in Play’ - Play England’s quality assurance scheme, which has really improved reflective practice. 

## **Special Events** 

At last we have been able to start up community events again and this year we have had several.  Most notable were Fright Night at Hallowe’en - attended by hundreds of families who declared it simultaneously terrifying and hilarious (the lake of blood in the sandpit said it all) and Mrs Klaus’s grotto (Santa was too busy!) giving out presents to all and hampers for those most in need. 



## **Playwork Plus Award** 

And last but not least we won the prestigious ‘Playwork Plus Award’ at the National Playwork Conference in Eastbourne!  This was a new award for playwork providers who have gone above and beyond in supporting children and families and we were thrilled to get it – there was much merriment on the night! 

## **Partnerships** 

- Our ongoing alliances with SoLO, Inclusive Sports, Square Peg and North Solihull Additional Needs Group who all regularly bring groups of disabled children on site with either their keyworkers or their parents 

- Children’s Quarter – for co-staffing ‘Inclusion Fusion’ sessions in the holidays and for ongoing sharing of funds and ideas. 

- B37 Project – who have wonderfully continued to voluntarily do garden maintenance on site after all their replanting last year.  We look forward to some future joint projects with them….. 

- CAMHS – their child psychologists bringing groups of children to targeted therapeutic play sessions 

- YOBS (Youth Opportunities Board Solihull) – this is a new organisation that MAPA helped found that exists to support all voluntary organisations in Solihull working with children and young people. This has increased regular intra-support and swapping of ideas and information, which is invaluable for all of us. 

- We continued our partnerships with Sainsbury’s and Greggs who regularly provide us with food and drink so that we can offer healthy food as often as possible to children and young people who are hungry and continue to give out emergency food parcels to families in need. 

## **Finance** 

MAPA’s income for the financial year 2020-2021 was **£394,612.01.** This was made up of:- 

|**Unrestricted funds:   £62,655.61**||
|---|---|
|Income from group visits|**14,683.65**|
|Donations at the gate & via local people/orgs|**37,840.24**|
|Community fund-raising events|**1,160.40**|
|Café and other sales income|**3,719.32**|
|Small grants/gifts towards core costs|**5,252.00**|
|**Key grants received/restricted funds:  £331,956.40**||
|Tudor Trust|20,000.00|
|Children in Need|63,940.00|
|Henry Smith Charity|50,000.00|
|Trusthouse Charitable Foundation|23,176.00|
|Sheldon Trust|8,994.00|
|UK Youth|18,300.00|
|HAF (Holiday Activities Fund)|63,904.00|
|Ironmonger’s|5,000.00|
|HS2 CEF Fund|31,300.00|
|National Lottery|26,898.65|



We have also been lucky to receive small grants from the following funders:- _Heart of England, Harry Payne Trust, WMPCC Violence Reduction Unit, Woodward Trust, Cole Trust and Dumbreck Charity_ 

The majority of our expenditure is on staff salaries as without our qualified playworkers and youthworkers the playground could not be open for the hundreds of children, young people and families who come. 

## **Thank you everyone for all your contributions and support, especially our local community – who are the reason and heart of our existence**
