WE employ Outreach Workers who are responsible for their own area –Christine visits members living in the Trimdons every week. She would bring a selection of toys and equipment for you to choose from and then return in 6 - 8 weeks time with a different choice. We have a wide range of toys and specialist equipment, for example musical instruments, computer software, construction, educational games, outdoor items, bubble tubes and fibre-optics etc. If we haven’t got what you would like, just ask and if funding allows, we will buy it for you to borrow.
