“I’m a single mum to 4 kids, 18,5,3 and 2. Lewis and Grace have a very rare genetic disorder and are unable to walk, to me PlayPeace has given us an opportunity to get out on a Saturday afternoon and enjoy some free play in a safe environment, you’re amazing and im thankful to come along and look forward to trying to get along to other things you do, especially next summer. Thank you, I’d highly recommend PlayPeace 😊”
“My girls and I have been attending Playpeace sessions and trips over past 2 years. Playpeace organise great sessions and trips (variety of places and activities, which is really good as kids can see new places and try new things). We have always had a fantastic time. My elder one, who is autistic, she really enjoys her time at Playpeace as she can be free, she can feel free (not like some other places, where she needs to restrict herself and not always has support and understanding which she needs). What is great too is that my younger (she doesn’t have any disability) can attend Playpeace as well, so 3 of us can spend time together experiencing new things, activities, places, making new friends and making lifetime lasting memories. I am very grateful that I have found Playpeace. They are really fantastic! “

“PlayPeace is a wonderfully relaxed and inclusive group for children and caregivers. Perfectly named as it allows the child to play in peace as there is no pressure to conform with social “norms”. Everyone is so welcoming and it is great to have people who fully understand the difficulties of raising a child with ASN to confide in and seek support from.”
