Keeping The Addy free for every child

Help Keep The Addy Free for Every Child

The Addy is a registered charity. Every pound from donations goes straight back into keeping Sycamore Avenue open — play equipment, staff, hot meals, and a warm hall in winter. No memberships. No entry fees. Just your support, keeping a community going.

Why your support matters

Why does The Addy need donations?

Session fees help — but they don't cover everything. We rely on grants and donations to bridge the gap. The #SAVEOURADDY campaign showed how fragile charity funding can be. Without community support, our doors could close.

Every session you book helps. Every donation helps more.

Your impact

What does every pound pay for?

Here's how donations turn into real things for real children in Knottingley.

🛝

Play equipment

Climbing frames, tools, den-building materials — proper outdoor kit that lasts.

👩‍🏫

Qualified staff

Play workers who know every child by name and keep the playground running seven days a week.

🎨

Arts & crafts

Paint, paper, glue, and whatever the kids dream up next.

🍲

Community meals & heating

Hot food for children and elderly neighbours, plus keeping the hall warm through Yorkshire winters.
