We recently installed an impressive sail shade to the play are at the James Hopkins Trust in Gloucestershire, which will provide much-needed protection from the sun so that the space can be used whatever the weather.
And there are more exciting plans afoot here, as next month, alongside our friends at Natural Playscapes, we will be fitting further shade structures to both the 'Wavey Walk' and soft play aread coming off their existing building.
As you can see from this wonderfully bright picture, these new shade structures will bring a kaleidoscope if sensory colour to this garden, as well as performing the important practical function of providing shelter from the sun and the rain.
This will fundamentally transform how the care team is able to use - and the children are able to enjoy - this fantastic outside space.
Exciting times ahead!
