Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

GEORGE attends the yard every weekend for a couple hours and for us as a family has been our lifeline as its somewhere we feel safe to go with George without being judged as parents, no one staring,pointing, when George has a meltdown or being vocal.

This walk is to also raise awareness to the lack of support there is in fife for additional need child/families, long waiting times for assessments/appointments,

The Yard creates beautiful havens for play for disabled children, but even more than that, opportunities for fun, friendship and community building. Support and a sense of belonging. Somewhere to feel safe to take risks. A place of understanding without judgement. A vital lifeline for whole families

The Yard is a charity supporting disabled children and young people aged 0-25 through adventure play. Since 1986, we have been offering creative and inclusive play experiences in a well-supported environment, alongside wraparound support for the whole family.

Our flagship centre in Edinburgh was refurbished by BBC's DIY SOS The Big Build in 2012, followed by the opening of The Yard Dundee in 2015 and The Yard Fife in 2016. We are also looking into expanding into the West of Scotland.

We offer a varied programme of drop-in, respite and transition youth clubs, early years, specialist sessions with schools, family play sessions, and inclusive play and disability training. At the heart of everything we do is child-led free play
