The charity has been trading for 7 months.
We have delivered 87 888sion8 of play and
creative art5 therapy for children in the
Malvern area. 6 5ession5 of support for
parents and ongoing regular support for
professionals in one school.

In September 2024. we opened a
d8dic8ted playroom at our h&adquart8r5.
Early interwention using play and creative
arts therapy can prevent escalation of
mental heatth difti¢ullies btrfO￿ these
become problematic for families and local
cornmunities. Educating parents, carers
and professionals increases the likelihood
of long-temi recovery lor play therapy
dient5.
Research has shown that children from
low-income families are more likely to
experience a mental disorder. 17% of
children whose parent5 receive welfare
benefits We￿ found to have a mental
disorder compared with 5% of children
whose parents received no benefit5. (Office
for National Statisti¢s, 20211.
All children undergoing therapy wth Time
to Play were from families in ￿￿1pt of
welfare benefits and l or pupil premium
funding lallocaied to support
disadvantaged pupils in $¢hool$l
For those ¢hildren who have ¢ompltrted
therapy, there has been a reduction in
drfficulties at School according to
¢ompawlive before and after s¢ores from
the strengths and difficulties questionnaire
(Goodman, 19971.
