Funding helps Cloch deliver activity packs for young children
Each household will receive one activity pack each month.
Cloch Housing Association is delivering 150 activity packs to its households with children aged under five, as part of a funding package received from the Supporting Communities Fund.
The funding means that Cloch can deliver one activity pack each month for the next three months to 150 young children. The pack for June focuses on Arts and Crafts. Also included in the pack is a story book for the under-fives.
The activity packs include pencils, pens, crayons, activity pads, stickers and much more.
Liz Bowden, Corporate Services Manager, said: “It is great that we can support our youngest residents with something fun and distracting during what has become a long holiday for some of them and their parents.”
The packs are being delivered by Cloch staff and would like to thank the publishing firm, Bluebird Books, who have donated 1,500 free books for young children that will be included in the packs with the remainder being distributed to community groups and nurseries in Inverclyde.
After the three month period, Cloch will roll the monthly story book out to all under-fives, in partnership with the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, and by registering households and their young family members to the newly established Young Clochie Club.
