our vision
We want every family to thrive as they go through life’s journey.
We want to build a sense of belonging, sharing and community
and show that raising a family doesn’t need to cost the earth.
We do this by creating a circular economy where families in Cirencester pass us their preloved children’s items to be sorted and reused by families in need of support, families with restricted budgets and families that choose recycled items to reduce their impact on the environment.
our mission

Building Community
in our playarea
Come and play in our onsite playarea.
Our playarea is open to all under 5’s, whilst the site is open. It is a perfect place to have fun, learn skills, make friends and relax, whether you are sheltering from the rain, or cooling off out of the sunshine. There is no charge for playing, we just ask that you respect the area and help tidy before you leave.
We also offer activity sessions and craft sessions in the playarea for families to join in together.
These are offered as ‘Pay as you can’, which means if you enjoy being with us and you can, please make a small donation to help us keep providing these activities to support local families.
