Brandon Playlink

Brandon Playlink Playlink is a Brandon Trust service that supports autistic children and children with learning disabilities (aged 5 to 18 years), in South Gloucestershire.

Brandon Playlink supports children from 5 to 18 years of age, in the South Gloucestershire area. Playlink offers a variety of support to over 160 disabled children, with a motivated team of play workers enabling children to have the best experiences possible. We run play schemes in the school holidays (summer, Easter, and half terms in February and October). Sessions are held in Yate, Bradley Stoke, and Staple Hill. As part of this, we organise day trips to places such as Noah's Ark Zoo Farm and Puxton Park. During school holidays, we also run teenage workshops, offering age-appropriate activities for young people aged 13 and over. Activities include bowling, mini golf, cinema, and specialised workshops that help teenagers to learn and grow. Our buddy scheme helps children with disabilities to access mainstream clubs and activities. This scheme offers 1 to 1 support. We have helped children to join groups such as Scouts and Brownies and supported them to access mainstream activities such as swimming, golf lessons, and young drivers school. In 2023, we started providing forest skills sessions at Grow Wilder in Frenchay. These sessions give children the opportunity to spend time in nature and enjoy a variety of sensory experiences. We also hold an annual summer camp for young people aged 14 to 19, offering new experiences, activities, and challenges, as well as giving families some valuable respite.

With the help of Green Machine, we were able to plant 60 native hedges yesterday at our Worle Forest Skills site: Hawthorn, Dogwood, Hazel, Crab Apple and Dog Rose 🌳

Native hedges provide vital habitats for wildlife. They also provide valuable food sources for birds and pollinators!

Protecting these spaces is essential for the ongoing support of our ecosystems and woodlands.

A massive THANK YOU to Simon and Adrian from Green Machine for all your help and for the saplings 💚

Over the summer, the young people and children we support at Playlink took part in our Brandon Rewilded Forest Skills sessions!

They engaged in activities such as:
Fire lighting
Campfire cooking
Foraging
Nature games and activities
Wilderness exploration
Nature habitat crafting
Natural tie-dye
And so much more!

Research shows that spending as little as 20 minutes outdoors can improve feelings of anxiety and depression, and help with feeling more relaxed and connected to others and nature. At Brandon Rewilded, we aim to enable children and young people a safe and engaging environment to explore nature, learn, play and create 🌳
