A toddler group is calling out for volunteers to help build a bouncing community of young Newport families.
Megan Gradwell with Jack Prokopiak, 1, Ava Prokopiak, 3, with mum, Sarah Prokopiak, Cecelia Degg, Axel Dorricott, 5 months, with mum, Keeley WynneAfter restrictions lifted, Newport's weekly stay-and-play Trinity Church Toddler Group struggled to get back on their feet before mum-of-two Sarah Prokopiak stepped in.
"Pre-Covid there had been several toddler groups and stay-and-play sessions in Newport, but none of them reopened when restrictions were lifted. Edgmond, Tibberton, Gnosall and Muxton all have toddler groups, but if you don't have access to a car that's no good, and you're meeting parents from different areas; which is great, but it doesn't help build a community of young families within Newport.
Sarah explained:"We've done a small amount of fundraising to help us replace some old equipment, but generally we rely on the £3 per child entry fee to cover our costs."The group is a non-profit community group, so I donate my time in running the group, along with a small team of volunteers who came forward in answer to my Facebook post back in March.
