Enable activity to restart Bring communities together

Messy Mischief Makers open on a Monday and Friday and provides a safe space where children and parents can play and get messy. With over 1000 members on Facebook, the group brings the community together and offers affordable activities for families as a non profit group, offering support to help mums dealing with social isolation and depression.

The funding supported the group to purchase new kit to start creative activities and open the group up after Christmas, with arts and crafts and sensory play for babies and toddlers, which will be an ongoing resource for those that attend.

“The grant has helped us freshen up our group and reach out to more families needing sensory play. We have stocked up on art supplies to keep kids’ minds stimulated. Everything we brought has been really appreciated by the children.” - Lead

Participant’s feedback:
