The Thames Valley Adventure Playground (TVAP) has become a hugely popular and wonderful choice for holding INSAAN family events. This year was no different, as INSAAN hosted families from Reading, Slough, High Wycombe, Wokingham, Finchampstead and Basingstoke to celebrate Eid with their loved ones on a fun-filled day at a fantastic adventure park! The Playground boasts a number of amazing facilities, including sensory rooms, soft play halls, bikes, go karts, adventure castles, water pits, zip lines, King Kong and much much more!
It was particularly encouraging to see many hands-on fathers joining in and participating in the various activities at the specially adapted premises. There was a great family atmosphere and many parents commented on how relaxed they felt all afternoon while at the venue. The 3 course meal also went down a treat!!
It was humbling to be inundated with requests from families wanting to attend. We appreciate the enthusiasm and support of all our families, and regrettably had to exercise a strict first come-first served policy to ensure safety for those attending on the day. We hope to hold a similar function in the near future.

In partnership with Wokingham Borough Council and Management at Dimensions Loddon Court, we are delighted to share that INSAAN has been able to adapt a room to cater for people with profound and complex special needs. Adaptations include an overhead tracked ceiling hoist, corner-to-corner padded walls, low level special bed and appropriate safety matting on the floor. The room is now used on a daily basis. Such is the demand that bookings for the newly furbished room have already been confirmed for next 3 months. This will make a tremendous difference to families requiring respite or short term breaks in a safe and secure environment.
We cannot thank enough all those who have donated towards this much needed provision. Your kindness and generosity has once again shown itself to be a source of great positivity for the betterment of fellow residents.
