Bridget gets stuck in on 'Play for Life' Discovery Day!

Playschemes throughout the borough of Bridgend and Cardiff met together

for a "Play for Life" celebration day during the summer vacation

and Creative Therapies student

Briget Evans

was also there to work with the children.

As part of the Discovery Day, children were encouraged and enabled to make dens, rope bridges and other exciting activities for each to experience. Sculptures made from cooled melted wax were also created as a tactile experience and the day was capped with a visit from the Ospreys rugby team.

The Creative Therapies team are keen to encourage students to become involved with working with a wide range of groups in order to broaden their experience and understanding while on the CTIE programme.
