Easter play and read 2024

Part of our approach is to identify and involve organisations and services that aren’t currently engaged with early years support, but who could make a real difference. We hold community events, open to all families, to provide opportunities for these organisations to see the power of engaging with parents and how they can have a real impact for the youngest children in their area.

Our Easter play and read event in Stoke-on-Trent welcomed over 200 parents, carers and children, 43% of whom had never attended one of our events before. They heard stories from the team at the New Vic Theatre and enjoyed arts and craft activities led by our friends at Stoke-on-Trent College, EPIC Housing and Alpha Academies Trust. The National Literacy Trust gave away free books. Many other local organisations attended, offering a chance for us to connect them with parents and carers who would benefit from their support

“Easter play and read was absolutely fantastic so much to do and on offer for all of the family the staff there were super friendly and welcoming it was a wonderful day out for all the family I think everyone went above and beyond and would love to attend something like that again 10/10 for the whole day .”
