The Toy House - Volunteering for Success Project
Our Volunteering for Success Project provides person centred volunteering opportunities to disabled young people and adults who require a safe, nurturing environment to help support their development.
This is a two year project running until June 2022. The project is part of Trafford's Housing Trust Social Investment Fund.
The Toy House offers an inclusive play environment where parents or carers can relax while the children play with our wide selection of toys, many of which specifically meet the needs of our disabled visitors. We also offer a supportive listening ear to all families, carers and professionals. We have a wonderful Sensory Room where our visitors can relax and unwind.
