Swingathon at Get Ahead Physio!

Every child deserves the opportunity to play, explore and have fun.

At Get Ahead Physio, we support children and young people with a wide range of conditions and disabilities. We see firsthand how important movement, play and inclusion are, so this project is particularly close to our hearts.

We are raising money to support Leckhampton Rovers FC’s campaign to create what is planned to be Gloucestershire’s first fully inclusive playground at Burrow’s Field in Cheltenham.

The vision is to create a fully inclusive and welcoming space where children with and without disabilities can play, explore and have fun together. With accessible parking and toilets, refreshments and a trail around the park, it will give children more opportunities to enjoy movement, build confidence and feel included, while enabling people of all ages with disabilities and their families to enjoy the space together.

To support the project, we are holding a 12-hour sponsored Swingathon at Get Ahead Physio, Elmbridge Court, from 8am to 8pm on Saturday 10 October. Using swings, including a specialist accessible swing, parents, staff, local businesses and members of the community will take turns to keep it moving continuously for the full 12 hours!

Everyone is welcome to join us, take a turn swinging or help keep it moving. Teas, coffees and snacks will be available throughout the day, so please come along and support us.

You can also help by donating whatever you can or sharing this page. Every contribution will bring this much-needed inclusive space one step closer to becoming a reality.

Together, we can help create a place where children can play together and people of all ages feel welcome and included.
