A huge thank you to all 65 of our amazing volunteers at The Springfield Project for everything you do. Your time, care and dedication make such a difference to our communities every day ✨

At Mini Springers, Morgan from the REP theatre came to give our Sunflower children a performance of "The Lion Inside" 🦁✨ Birmingham Rep

The session was a mix of drama and listening, and the children were encouraged to be creative and energetic.

The purpose of the project is to help support with transitions to school, as some of the children will receive similar drama sessions in Sept in their new schools!
Morgan will visit again in two weeks to read us the story "Harold and The Purple Crayon". We cannot wait to see her again 💚

Happy Volunteers’ Week 2026! A huge thank you to all our amazing volunteers for everything you do for Springfield Project! 💚

At Home learning - REAL (Raising Early Achievement in Literacy) – Introducing Early Writing. Our 2-year-olds were exploring playdough. ⭐

🎶 By filling and emptying bowls, squeezing, and poking the dough, they were busy building their fine motor and cognitive skills. We sang a few rounds of "Pat-a-cake" and some other songs to keep engagement and early literacy skills going. 🎶

Examples were given to mums about how simple, everyday household items can turn basic playtime into a powerful learning experience at home.

⏰ Reminder: Tomorrow is the application deadline.
