The difference we make

Our Impact

ELHAP's services enable children and young people to experience the magic, freedom, creativity, fun and challenges of inclusive adventure play. These experiences impact on our service users in so many positive ways - helping them to improve their physical and mental well-being, build resilience and confidence, unleash creativity and develop new friendships. Our work also benefits family members, by enabling parents/carers to take a break and spend quality one-to-one time with their other children, and sibling carers to have fun with friends.

We collect evidence of impact on an ongoing basis, using parent surveys, daily reports, end of day supervisions and photographic mapping. During 2018, ELHAP took part in a Monitoring and Evaluation project - Playworks - organised by London Play and funded by City Bridge Trust. Here is some of the data we collected.
