Community day trips for deprived families and young children in disadvantage Communities

"My daughter is 10 years old and hasn't got the best of confidence around meeting NEW people. After a few days of attending Blesst Playscheme, she has made some great friends and loves attending the playscheme. She enjoys the many varieties of activities and loves the competition of the incentives at the end of the week. Being a single mum and working part time for my daughter, attending Blesst has been a lifesaver. She has got to meet new friends and learn other life experiences from the mentors on site her confidence has exceeded."
