About our cause
Adventure Play for All at ELHAP
If you’ve ever travelled down Roding Lane North and wondered what was behind ELHAP's big green gates, then you may be surprised to learn that, as well as a 5-acre woodland boasting an ancient orchard and nature reserve, it is home to the largest specialist adventure playground in the country!
Since 1976, ELHAP has been facilitating adventure and nature play opportunities for children and young people with disabilities and complex support needs. Each year we facilitate over 6000 visits to our site and directly support 300 families from all over North East London and Essex.
We believe it’s everyone’s birthright to be able to play freely and adventurously - but for many young people with disabilities, these opportunities are limited due to numerous challenges they face.
At ELHAP we remove these barriers! Our services are designed to give children and young people the freedom to just ‘be kids’, explore, be challenged and have fun! They can fly through the air on our zip wire, climb trees or our weird and wonderful wooden play structures, ride bikes, go bug hunting, cook over an open fire or take part in a multitude of craft, music and dance activities. Assisted by our amazing team of Playworkers, each child’s support needs are met and the opportunities for imaginative fun are endless … and often very messy!
“ELHAP understands my son's needs and gives him the opportunity to play and socialise in a place he is safe and happy”
Parents describe ELHAP as a ‘lifeline’. Families can enjoy desperately needed respite, which they often can’t access elsewhere. Children benefit from being active outdoors - but our sessions also help build resilience, confidence and self-esteem, whilst providing opportunities to socialise and develop important friendships. Being part of the ELHAP community creates a genuine sense of belonging and acceptance, where children with disabilities have the freedom to be themselves and thrive.
“My son can really be himself at ELHAP and is always very excited to go there”
Like many frontline organisations, COVID-19 had a huge impact on our magical and unique charity. Today, due to the closure of other support services coupled with the cost-of-living crisis, demand for our playscheme is at an all-time high. There are many families who are now, unfortunately, without any support at all.
By playing the lottery, you will be helping to raise funds so that we can provide more sessions to the children who need us most, and vital respite to their families and carers.
“You can’t imagine the precious break ELHAP gives me, every hour is absolutely precious. ELHAP takes away the stress for both of us.”
Thank you for your support and good luck!
