One huuuuuge step closer! 🧡

Please excuse the silly photo, but we’re silly excited to share that Temple of Play has been awarded £19,846 from National Lottery Awards for All 😍

We started Temple of Play because we believe Ulverston families deserve warm, welcoming spaces to gather, rest, play and connect with one another. After months (and months!) of hard work behind the scenes, planning, problem-solving, bid writing and keeping the faith, this support has truly allowed us to see the light at the end of the tunnel and we couldn’t be more grateful to everyone who has supported us along the way 💛

Thank you The National Lottery Community Fund for believing in our community and our vision. We can’t wait to share what comes next!!

Please note Baby & toddler hand and footprint drop-ins are welcome at all Abbot Park Farm sessions – the perfect way to capture those tiny moments in pottery.

And keep your eyes peeled… my two pop-up sessions are just around the corner and I’ll be sharing all the exciting details very soon. You won’t want to miss these!

Any comments, feelings or experiences? 🩷

🌿 Ulverston families - we’d love your thoughts! 🌿

We’re very close to signing the lease on the old Natwest Bank building in the town square to open Temple of Play, our community-led indoor play café for families with little ones aged 0-5.

It’s a big step for us, both financially, and in the time and love we’ll be pouring into the space, and before we go ahead, we want to check in with the people who matter most: YOU!

With the new 30 hours funded childcare rolling out, we want to make sure that an indoor play café, a warm, welcoming place to connect, relax, and let your little ones explore through play, is still something local families want and would use.

✨ If you have a moment, we’d be so grateful to hear your thoughts.

You can simply comment below to let us know:

• Would you use a family play café in the town centre?
• What would make it most helpful or enjoyable for your family?
• Are there any particular features, opening hours, or services you’d love to see?

Your feedback will help us make the right decision at a really important moment and ensure Temple of Play grows in the way this community truly needs.

Thank you, as always, for being part of this journey with us. 💛

Hello! My name is Ylana Lovell, and I’m the founder of Temple… Temple of Play CIC needs your support for Help Us Open Temple of Play – A Play Café in Ulverston!

Exciting times! 🤩

We are one HUGE step closer to making this a reality. We’ve been given so much support so far, which we are beyond grateful for 🙏🏼
To be able to achieve our dream vision we still have some steps to climb.. We’re raising money through our Crowdfunder [https://gofund.me/f5ac42db], and we’d also love to connect with anyone who can support us with bid writing and funding applications to strengthen our start-up process.

If you, or someone you know, can lend a hand please reach out! And if you can’t help directly, sharing this post is a brilliant way to spread the word, the right person might be just one click away. 🌿

This is a centre for the whole community, and we need the community to help get it off the ground. Spread the word, share the love, and get involved however you can! (Pretty please!) 💕

What a nice idea!
