Would you like there to be a playbox based in Belle Isle all the time? Some Belle Isle parents have already visited another playbox in Killingbeck and are interested in having one here. It would have a long-term base somewhere in Belle Isle, and would be opened at agreed times – such as after school a couple of days a week or a weekend morning – by volunteers (and possibly playworkers if there is any funding). When it is not in use, the playbox is secure. It could be based on one site for a few years and then be moved to another site. Please use the form below to give your ideas …

For example, this could be after school one or two days a week, or a weekend morning

BITMO’s Board has opened a new Winter Warmth Fund for this winter. The Board understand the cost of living crisis that is affecting many people and have allocated money from their budget to pay for goods that can help you and your family keep warm this winter.

BITMO households in need of extra support can apply for a winter warmth pack which will contain large fleecy sherpa blankets, hot water bottles with covers and fleecy socks, with the amounts depending on how many people are in our household.
