3-year-old Oliver lives in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. After the first lockdown, mum Carrian noticed Oliver was very clingy with her as the only children he’d been able to mix with since the start of the pandemic were his older brother and sister.

Carrian started taking Oliver to the parenting and 0-5 play sessions at the brilliant Twynyrodyn Community Hub. Through the dedication of staff, Oliver began to learn how to socialise for the first time, making new friends, and learning how to share toys.

Thanks to your donations, the Twynyrodyn Community Hub gave him a really good start at socialising with others, right before he started nursery.
