'We Resource Play'
Towards a Brighter Future for Children and Young People Through Play
Grumpy regards play as being essential to every child's life and vital to the processes of human development. Experience gained through PLAY, during the years of childhood and youth, form the basis of adult behaviour. All children should have the opportunity to PLAY, in a safe and creative environment, with the necessary material, equipment and support.
Grumpy supports the five outcomes that are most important to children and young people as defined in the Every Child Matters in all aspects of our services.
Grumpy's aims are to promote resources and provide and assist in promoting, resourcing and providing play opportunities, facilities, back-up services, materials and equipment, information, training and specialist skills having particular regard for children and young people lacking adequate or appropriate play and educational opportunities or who are denied access to play and educational opportunities for any reason [including race, sexual orientation, gender, disability, language and culture].
