A Hackney children’s charity has been praised by the local council for the positive impact they have made on the community during the pandemic.
Hackney Play, which is funded by organisations including Hackney Council and Children in Need and runs adventure playgrounds at Homerton Grove and Pearson Street, has remained a hub for activities for 6-15’s during the difficulties of the last 12 months.
The tweet by Hackney Council said: ‘Thank you to all our staff caring for children & young people throughout the pandemic, & providing them with places to play, including over the half-term break – bringing hope, creativity & a great sense of fun!’
