Communication Through Art Workshops


The Communication through Art Workshops have been set up for individuals who attend the Langdale Centre Blackpool who have difficulty verbally communicating, we use art as a means of communication to encourage self expression, individuality and choice.The Communication through Art Workshops believe that individuals whatever their sensory, physical or cognitive ability have strong and vital qualities which are a reflection of their individuality and self expression it is these qualities that we explore and make visable by using colour, shape collage and sculpture.

New Play Team For Salford

Salford has four new Play Development Officers who will be supporting and developing play provision across the city and implementing Salford’s Play Strategy, ultimately with the aim of improving the quality of play opportunities for the children and young people of Salford. The team will also support the existing BIG Lottery play projects in Salford, and consult children about play spaces with regards to the development of the DCSF Playbuilder Programme. The new Officers have over twenty-seven years’ experience working with children and young people between them across the voluntary and community sectors. Matthew Barker and Michelle Hagan have both joined from delivering and managing play for voluntary organisations in Manchester, while Gareth Stacey has moved to Salford after five years with Flintshire County Council’s Play Service. Stephanie Williams works with the team part-time, after six years working on play and sports projects across the city. Welcome to Salford !
