MAKE A DONATION
Show Your Support
At SCPA, we believe all our events should be absolutely free, so every child has the chance to play. That means we rely on the kind donations of the community and local funding to keep our doors open. If you would like to make a donation, please contact us through the website, give us a call, or visit us on Facebook. Alternatively, you can make a PayPal donation by clicking the button below. Every penny helps us support every child's right to play.

VOLUNTEER WITH US
Work with children and families at our schemes
SCPA welcomes the help and support of the local community. Our schemes are run by friendly and caring teams of play workers. Our play workers are expected to work together, as a team, to set up and pack away all of our play equipment, as well as supervising and engaging with the children and families in play. This is NOT a childcare role, but we do expect play workers to be safe and responsible, as well as friendly and fun loving! If you think you might be interested in working with us and don't mind a mess, please contact us below, give us a call, or visit our Facebook! Please note, all play volunteers must be over the age of 12.
JOIN OUR COMMITTEE
Help organise events and make decisions
As a non-profit, commission registered charity, we are run by an executive committee. This committee is made up of passionate individuals from the local community who want to be involved in a more managerial role. The executive committee meets every six weeks to discuss the running of the organisation and vote on decisions. Sub-committee meetings are also held which trustees of the committee may choose to also attend. If you have some fresh ideas and want to help SCPA create the best possible play experiences get in touch below, or contact us through Facebook. To find out more about our current committee, visit our Meet The Team page.
