A new place to play

🛝 Help Us Build a New Playground for Our Infants

For over a year, our youngest children have had no access to outdoor play equipment. Their playground was deemed unsafe and closed off — leaving behind broken structures and a fenced-off reminder of what they’ve lost.

Instead of climbing, sliding, and laughing together, our infants now face barriers where joy used to be.

But there’s hope.

Our school has identified the perfect replacement: safe, inclusive equipment designed to support physical development, creativity, and imaginative play. The total cost is £18,000, and the Association Of Parents And Friends Of Our Lady Of Lourdes School (APF) has already committed £6,000 from our surplus funds and have been working hard since December 2025 to reach our remaining target. Due to all the fundraising we have been able to do throughout, we have now been able to reduce the target here for the remaining money we need to raise! 

We know we will get there with the help of you all! This will not be possible without the help of our amazing school community to help us make this dream a reality.  

Your donation will help us:

• Replace broken structures with modern, durable equipment
• Create a safe, stimulating outdoor space for all infant pupils
• Support the wellbeing, confidence, and creativity of our youngest learners for years to come

Let’s give our children the playground they deserve.

The children themselves say it best. Watch the video below to see how they feel about their unusable playground, and take a look at the images of the vibrant new space we hope to create.

Every pound brings us closer — thank you for being part of it. Share this campaign with as many people as possible as the wider the reach, the more likely we are of hitting our target.
