Here’s a community brain-picking post about the Playbox!
You may have seen that we’ve (Springfield, Beech Hill and Gidlow Community) been lucky to get a Playbox for a week in the 2nd week of the Easter holidays in Beech Hill Play Park. It’s not our permanent playbox though.
We probably have enough cash to buy and paint a container and work with Wigan Council to get a licence for the plot it will go on. If anyone has any shipping container contacts, or friends who do haulage of shipping containers that would be really helpful.
That then means we can break down what we still need into smaller parts.
Like:
wood to board it out and someone to help with the work.
Insulation
Equipment - maybe we can make some of the stuff ourselves - like giant bean bags and giant Jenga?
So, do you have those skills or do you work for a company that might be able to help out? Perhaps you own a company? Or have links to someone who might.
Do make suggestions and introductions so we can invite people to see the Playbox in action and imagine how they might be able to contribute.
It feels like it’s a real possibility that we’ll have our own permanent Playbox by the summer holidays. Imagine that!
For now, our friend from Leeds will be back at the park this Easter and we can begin to design the Playbox we will own!
