Little Explorers Play Patch: A Space for Growth and Discovery

The Little Explorers Play Patch, a family-focused play area in the field of child development and family support, has opened in Warwickshire with a funding boost of £15,000. This project, aimed at creating a safe and engaging environment for children and families to bond, learn, and thrive, is set to have a significant impact on the local community.

Dudley Lodge, a UK registered charity and one of the leading Family Assessment Centres in England and Wales, spearheaded the creation of this innovative play area.

This new play patch, which opened in March 2024, provides a calming and out-of-this-world environment designed to help members of all ages connect, relax, and explore in a supportive space.

The project was generously funded by a Wooden Spoon Charity grant. Wooden Spoon supports Dudley Lodge’s dedication to creating safe and inclusive spaces that foster wellbeing and growth for children and their families.
