Bright Spaces, created through the nursery group’s charity, aim to provide warm, safe and enriching play environments for vulnerable children affected by abuse, domestic violence, parental imprisonment and mental health.
The latest Bright Space is based within Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary’s Havant Suite – four rooms have been transformed into homely and welcoming environments with soft furnishings and resources such as art and craft supplies, relaxation toys and books. It is the 18th Bright Space that has been installed in a police authority ABE (Achieving Best Evidence) suite and the third for Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary specifically.
In total, the charity has created more than 85 Bright Spaces across the UK since it was established in 2005.
