Children and Young People

Walton Pre School

Walton Pre School, based in a rural area of Essex, received funding to provide educational and practical support to families who have children aged 2-4, who also may have additional needs.

The grant helped to support their core costs, helping the Pre School to continue providing stimulating learning opportunities, and a support service for families. They employed additional staff to provide personalised guidance for each family, to help them access services or to supply them with any food or clothing parcels they may need.

All activities promote the development of the children’s social, emotional and communication skills, which have been noticeably impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic isolation.
