ABOUT
US
The
Limes.... is passionate about providing an environment where disabled
and
non-disabled children can play
and
work
together,
where
no
one
is
excluded,
where
difference is valued and everyone can participate to their full
potential.
The Limes - Play & Participate, is an inclusive project at the heart of the community that was established to meet the need for a play and recreational centre in the London Borough of Waltham Forest that is accessible to disabled and non-disabled children and young people.
The Limes was set up following prolonged lobbying by local parents and local disability service providers, for a dedicated safe play space, which meets the needs of all children.
PLAY!
It is widely acknowledged by child development specialists that play is a fundamental part of every child's development. Therefore, children who may have additional needs arising from a specific disability are in need of extra stimulation and should consequently have access to a suitable play environment that is designed to meet individual needs and enable all children to fulfil their potential.
PARTICIPATE!
The
Limes works to actively empower children & young people in the area,
particularly
those
at
risk
of
social
exclusion
and
it
also
seeks to provide a
model for inclusion not only within the centre but within the wider
community
as a whole through
providing a space where everyone is accepted as equal and
where diversity is embraced. Our
children & young
People
are
at
the
HEART
of
The
Limes
where
they
are
makers
and shapers of their services.
