Our Space is a charity that provides unique social and recreational opportunities for children and adults with disabilities. They offer a range of exciting opportunities for all age groups from their specialist facility, The Brook Centre, located in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire.
The North Staffs Special Adventure Playground on Stanier Street, Newcastle-under-Lyme closed its doors at the end of December 2015 and the associated charity was wound up. This was a massive blow to the families and volunteers who had been so involved with the Playground and associated activities and fellowship over the years. Ex staff, volunteers, members and their families could not stand by and let all that they had shared disappear. So they came together to create ‘Our Space’, a new charity that aims to fill the gap created when the NSSAP closed.
The volunteers threw loads of time and energy into fund-raising activities and as a result were able to take on the lease from the Council for the site on Stanier Street.
All donations and offers of practical support are welcome. For more information look at their Facebook page or website.
