They do this through providing a number of services including afterschool clubs, holiday clubs, weekend clubs, daytime support for young adults, stay and play sessions for under 5's, a siblings group and a toy library. They were founded in 2009 by two mums of disabled children who were unable to find suitable childcare for their own disabled children. The 3R Foundation grant was used to purchase a Possum Play Couch plus accessories including additional pieces, sets and waterproof covers. This is now being used in the Kidz Club for children aged 5-19 to support the children with both their play and social needs. The couch is able to be a traditional sofa for relaxing and socialising whilst also converting into a number of different play shapes to suit a child's imagination. With the waterproof covers and additional shapes they will be able to support those with mobility issues to access the couch and fully enjoy it, including hoisting those who require it onto the couch.
