Providing play opportunities for children and young people with additional needs and disabilities
The Log Cabin in Northfields, Ealing provides a setting where children with additional needs or disabilities can socialise, grow and have fun alongside their mainstream peers. Play is vital to the development of all children. It is essential for physical, emotional and spiritual growth and intellectual, creative and educational development. It helps children to develop a sense of identity, self-respect and confidence, and an awareness of their own worth.
Why the community needs usChildren and young people with additional needs and disabilities often remain isolated from others and excluded from mainstream facilities. The Log Cabin is inclusive, welcoming mainstream siblings and local children and integrating everyone so that they socialise together, make new friends and form friendship groups, regardless of ability and of whether they have emotional, physical, behavioural or learning disabilities.
