A HAMPSHIRE charity is supporting local kids with new play equipment.

The Friends of Romsey Abbey recently supported the purchase of more than £2,500 of high-quality equipment like soft play, beanbags, rugs, and sensory toys.

This equipment will enhance the diverse range of children’s groups and outreach efforts covering the Oasis group for children who prefer a quieter play environment, Little Angels Bible Group for pre-school children, the popular Singing Story Time and Abbey Toddler group programme.
