Soft Play Area for Hanley Market, Online Patient Record Access
Written by Hitmix Local News on 30 December 2023
Children and families in Stoke-on-Trent will have access to a brand new, state-of-the art soft play facility in Hanley Market thanks to funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
Stoke-on-Trent City Council has been awarded £9,477,820 from the UKSPF to deliver projects which support local businesses, improve local spaces and assist residents with employment and skills.
The project is part of Stoke-on-Trent City Council’s Family Support Programme and will create a soft play provision which will be supported by a programme of activities. The activities will be based around a number of themes, including positive parenting, increasing physical activity and improving health and wellbeing.
Alongside the soft play area, a facility will be created to provide residents with financial MOTs, access to the wider Family Support network of activities and other support services.
