Enclosed in this edition of the Link is a survey which is the first stage of really gauging the level of interest around the village in this project. Please take a moment to fill it in as it will play a key part in the Playpark future decisions giving us some useful statistics to work with. So PLEASE fill it in and return it to Needham Playpark Committee, 103 High Road, Needham, IP20 9LG. Thank you in advance for doing it.
Team Playpark is a newly formed committee comprising children, parents, grandparents and community members. The more supporters we have the more possible this project becomes. So, please make yourself known if you would like to join in the fun - there are many different ways you could be involved so please ask and we will find a niche in the group that is just right for you!
A bit of background: With the dwindling of village primary schools, the younger children of Needham are scattered between Harleston, Mendham and Pulham Primaries (that I know of) so have little chance of meeting one another whilst older children are even more far flung between Bungay High, Archbishop Sancroft and Hartismere to name a few. We need to give them opportunity to meet one another and to be outdoors together.
It is good for all of us to spend time outside. In this increasingly technology obsessed society it can be hard work getting children outside so the more opportunities we can provide for outdoor play, exploration & games, the healthier our children will grown and the better life chances they will have.
This will be a space that we will all be able to use and enjoy together - please support it!
