Can you help us to keep Somerville financially sustainable?

It’s really important to us that Somerville is free to access for any local children and young people, and this has been core to our vision since the first adventure playground opened in 1971. We’re very pleased if you have registered your child to attend and hope they enjoy our facilities for many years to come. It costs £120 per child per year to offer all our services and activities.

Every single donation will go a long way.

 For families who are able, we ask that you consider making a regular donation to help us keep Somerville open.

REGULAR DONATION

For £10 per month, you can cover the cost of one child for a whole year. Thank you for your support!
