“Our KITE sessions deliver accessible, inclusive activities to disabled young people aged 25 and under. The sessions facilitate friendship-building, hands-on learning experiences, physical activity, creativity, and skill development among the participants. The young people also get to have fun, whilst we provide essential respite to their families, helping to promote family resilience and prevention of reaching ‘crisis point’.”

‘Without funding from the Constituency Fund, we would not have been able to run this session, enabling disabled children and young adults to access an opportunity to take part in activities and socialise with each other. We are very grateful for the generosity shown to us by Ellie Chowns’ – Meg Chambers, session leader

‘My daughter was able to go somewhere to be with friends in a safe and accepting environment , to be confident to be herself without judgement.’ – Parent of an attendee

Wellington Play Area opened in August 2025 – a much needed and wished for facility for the village and surrounding parishes.  The aims of the project are to: help children get fresh air; strengthen muscles; reduce screen dependency; develop balance and co-ordination and give the community a new hub for interaction with each other.
