April 2022 Inspection Report

The new Water Street Family Hub

In our building – the former Water Street secondary school – Bollington Initiative Trust (BIT) are working to establish a multi-functional Family Hub, restoring and reinvigorating the building for present and future generations’ use. Part of this large project includes installing a lift to provide access for all. This is not just for people who have physical disabilities, but for parents or grandparents who have young children with buggies, and all the other paraphernalia that comes with getting out and about with a young family.
BIT need our help to fund the installation of the lift. They want to make the whole building family and disability access friendly, so that everyone can feel welcome and can join in with the activities and services that will be available.
People can now visit the Crowdfunding website and make pledges here:
Once there, simply click the arrow on the image of the two children and the video will play.
Even if you can’t pledge, you could “like” the project as this would really help.
Thank you for your support.

A few more items needed, and a new rug to finish the area. We also want to start bringing in more natural and wooden resources and start to bring nature indoors! We’re looking forward to creating exciting provocations for our children, to spark their curiosity and imagination and give them amazing opportunities to have fun, explore and learn
