Play Centre,Greater Manchester,Pay What You Can

A play centre in Greater Manchester is allowing parents to pay what they can for entrance fees in order to support families facing financial difficulties. The initiative, which was first introduced at The Hideaway in Partington Shopping Centre last year, has been so successful that it will continue. The play centre offers various attractions and activities for children of different ages, including role play towns, a creative zone, a play frame, and a sensory room. Older kids can also enjoy a separate gaming and entertainment session. A café is available for all visitors, serving meals in a family-friendly environment.

Main meals are £6.50 or two for £10 and kids eat for £3.50. Ruth Lancey, CEO of the charity, said: “The pay what you can system has been in full swing for a while now and includes all of the school holidays too. It’s been incredibly popular as you might imagine and in a recent survey 82% of parents said the policy made The Hideaway affordable for them to visit - we assume the other 18% could already afford it.

Hope Centre user Scott Rafferty said “The Hope Pantry is a fantastic place that has helped us as a family through so many hard times, I don’t know what we would have done without them. The staff there are welcoming, caring, amazing people. It is a place you can go for help and there is no judgement."
