Hello, my name is Katy, and I am a Play Therapist working part-time at Gorton Primary School. I currently work with children who have emotional and behavioural difficulties using a small, portable kit. While I can do some amazing work with the tools I have, the need at the school is high, and many children would benefit from access to a dedicated play therapy room.

A well-equipped play therapy room would allow me to provide deeper, more meaningful sessions, supporting children to express themselves, regulate their emotions, and creating lasting change in their lives. Beyond the children already in therapy, it would also create a safe space for others who may need support during overwhelming moments at school on the days I am not there.

Your support would help create a space filled with play therapy tools and resources, enabling children to connect, explore, and develop skills that will stay with them for life as well as help to regulate in moments where often their behaviour can be deeply damaging when expressed in the school environment.

This would leave an amazing lasting legacy in this school having a long term transformational impact on the mental health of students who attend.

Thankyou,

Katy
