What is "The Venny"?

'The Venny' is the name of a charitable organisation who operate playgrounds that serve as communal backyards and safe spaces for children aged 5 to 16.

 

Our playgrounds offer a space where kids can engage in risk-taking play, creativity and connectedness with other young people.

​

What's it like?

Backyards where kids can crawl through tunnels, play with animals, walk on stilts, hide in castles in the air, jump on trampolines, dig the veggie patch, cook a nutritious meal, climb trees and sing at the tops of their voices.

​

It’s fun, it’s creative, it’s messy, and it’s a little bit chaotic. But it’s exactly what childhood should be. Come and go as you like. The Venny is free for the community to access.  You are free to choose what you do in the space. You are free to come and go as you like.
