Colin Beattie, MSP for Midlothian North and Musselburgh, today submitted a motion to the Scottish Parliament congratulating Midlothian Association of Play on its recent award of £110,432 from the Big Lottery Fund.

  • Holiday play activities
  • Administering a programme of grant giving for organisations, in partnership with Midlothian Council, to support the inclusion of children with additional support needs in mainstream childcare
  • Providing drop-in outdoor play sessions in Woodburn in Dalkeith, twice per week, facilitated by their team of Community Playworkers
  • Working with Midlothian Council on the development of a play strategy for Midlothian
  • Researching disabled children’s access to opportunities to play in Midlothian
  • Holding an annual play event
  • Running a variety of training courses
