Lidl Arbroath

We are a busy playgroup based in Arbroath, catering for children aged 2-5 years old, operating Monday-Friday 8.45am-2.45pm. We currently have 52 children on our register. We provide breakfast, lunch and snack for our children, we strive to create a safe, nurturing space for children to learn through play. We have a community larder where we supply food, clothing, toiletries, toys which is open to playgroup families as well as the local community. We have a large polytunnel and allotment space where we grow fruit and vegetables for the playgroup a big source of enjoyment was growing our very own pumpkins for Halloween this year. We have a large garden which houses a pond, orchard and wildlife area for the local squirrels, foxes and hedgehogs. We believe children learn a lot from risky play and encourage climbing and use of tools from gardening equipment to vegetable peelers. Many of our resources and natural loose parts, encouraging children to use their imagination in play.

The aim of the playgroup is to promote the aim of the scottish pre-school playgroups association, which is to advance the education of pre-school children so that they may take a constructive place in the community and also the education of their parents, and in furtherance of that aim, (a) to provide safe and satisfying group play in which parents take part when appropriate; (b) to encourage other charitable activities through which parents may help the children

The Redeemed Christian Church of God - Shepherd's House Arbroath is a church operating as a charity organization that caters for both the physical and spiritual well-being of our members and people in the community. As a Church and charity organization, our interest in Neighbourly is for us to have access to provisions from partnering stores so we can share them with our indigent members and neighbors. We are not soliciting for donations or funding. Presently, the charity uses church resources to cater for the needs of our members and neighbours who require provisions and basic day-day support with basic needs. We currently have 5 volunteers within our organization driving this initiative.
