Local playground
Adventure playground at Mill Meadows - accessibility and inclusivity were a priority when re-designing the playground. Extra strapping for the swings for children with disabilities is stored at the Adventure Golf kiosk, as it can't be left out as it's a choking hazard.
Food banks

Road safety
It is never too early to start talking to your child about road safety. Parents and children need to be aware of the potential dangers they face as pedestrians. Oxfordshire Fire & Resue Service Road Safety Team have produced a guide called Footsteps to give you some ideas of how to begin to support your child in developing the decision-making skills that will help them become a pedestrian able to keep themselves safer when they eventually walk to school or a friend’s home independently.
