✨📚 EXCITING NEWS! 📚✨

We are absolutely thrilled to announce a brand new collaboration between Swansea Libraries and Inc Swansea & NPT this Summer!

Together we'll be bringing Sound, Story & Sensory Sessions to children and young people with additional needs and disabilities and their families throughout the Summer Holidays! 🌈📖🎶✨

Collaborations like this make our hearts so happy. ❤️

True inclusion happens when organisations come together to create welcoming, accessible spaces where every child feels they belong. Swansea Library shares our passion for ensuring that no one is left out, and we cannot wait to create magical, sensory-friendly experiences full of stories, music, movement, imagination and fun!

Whether your child loves to listen quietly, move around while enjoying a story, explore sensory resources or simply experience the library in a way that works for them, these sessions are being designed with inclusion at their heart

📅 More information, dates and booking links will be coming very soon!

💚 Make sure you're a member of our Inc Swansea & NPT Facebook Members Group and/or our WhatsApp Group so you'll be the first to hear all the details and gain access to booking links.

We honestly can't wait to share this journey with you all! 🥰

Team InclusAbility 💚💙🩷

Our doors are open for the Big Cwtch this Tuesday, and we’d love for you to join us. Consider our building like one big living room where there’s always someone home and the kettle is always on.

We are so pleased to welcome Educational Psychologist Dr Abi Wright and the NPT Early Years team, who will be sharing a special, multi-sensory story with us called “The Hug Button.” It’s a gentle space for us and our little ones to explore themes of connection and big transitions together.

As always, we have our fabulous boutique baskets and baby bundles (ages 0-3) for you to browse with the addition of our ‘Wild Baskets’ this time for those who fancy hunting for treasure.

If you’d like to drop off donations, we are currently looking for boys and girls SUMMER clothing only (ages 0-3). All items must be washed and in cwtch-worthy condition before donating please.

Everything we do is free so please come along and find the village you need!
