New soft play sessions for children with additional special needs

New weekly soft play sessions for children with additional special needs

asn-softplay

Edinburgh Leisure believes that play is for everyone and that some children and families may need more support than others to get active and stay active … so they are introducing a specific soft play session for children with additional support needs.

The sessions will take place every Wednesday from 9am-10am at Clambers at the Royal Commonwealth Pool.

These sessions have been specifically designed to provide an inclusive service and will be appropriate for families of children with additional support needs including autism, cerebral palsy, sight and hearing impairments, global developmental delay, and genetic disorders.

Clambers offers opportunities for all children to have an amazing adventure with carefully designed baby, toddler and junior zones. There’s a comfortable café with uninterrupted views serving quality coffee with tasty and healthy treats for both parents and children.

Sessions cost £1.10 for children aged 0-11 months, £4.20 for children aged 12 months – 3 years, £5.20 for children aged 4 years and up. Siblings without additional support needs are very welcome to attend the sessions too.

Drumbrae Leisure centre reopens after £1m redevelopment

Drumbrae Leisure Centre reopened it’s doors yesterday following a £1 million revamp

pw_drumbrae-leisure-centre-opening_6-1

There’s something for everyone at Drumbrae now, no matter what age or stage. And just to prove that point Triple Olympian swimmer and Rio Silver medallist Robbie Renwick and 79 year old fitness instructor Helen Flannigan, helped to relaunch the Leisure Centre which officially reopens to the public on Monday.

Helen led a Pound workout, which fuses cardio interval training with drumming, and is new to Edinburgh Leisure and one of the few places you can experience the class in the city, while swimmer Robbie conducted a Masters Class for intermediate members looking to improve their front crawl.

Also on hand to ensure the day went without a hitch were General Manager, Emily Neil at Drumbrae Leisure Centre and Head of Customer Operations, Lindsay Renwick (who’s Robbie’s uncle!).
