Our Origin

Southway Playcare started as an Holiday Play scheme provision in February 1987. Linn Nunn and Theresa Grant set up the organisation. On 17th June 2013, Southway Playcare developed into a Community Incorporated Organisation (CIO). Southway Playcare has been running during the holidays as a play scheme for over 30 years. We run Southway Playcare at Southway Youth and Community Centre where the project started.
