Play for All

Play for All provides free play sessions for disabled children and their families across Midlothian. Sessions are open to all disabled children, 0 to 13 years old, including children who are still waiting for a diagnosis.

We run both:

One of our play specialists will plan activities to suit your child and family. During each session, we’ll have fun playing, get messy and be creative.

Each session lasts about an hour, and can take place in the family home, garden or a local park.

The sessions are completely free of charge and are arranged for when is convenient for you. You can choose how many sessions work best for your family, usually up to 10 in total.

A parent shares their experience

“Before, it was really hard for me to figure out what sort of stuff I should use to give my children the opportunity to play safely and with sensory things. You gave me a lot of new ideas to work with my kids, especially sensory skills which have a deep impact on them. Your hard work and appearance with brand new ideas are just amazing.”
