Part of Organised Outdoor Community Play Fund.
Play Midlothian is an award-winning small charity that supports children’s health, wellbeing and development through play-based services, primarily outdoors. Each year they transform the lives of hundreds of children in need, including children with disabilities, from minority ethnic backgrounds or living in areas of multiple deprivation.
Funding supports Play Midlothian’s Out2Play service, helping children to thrive in areas of multiple deprivation.
