Creating Adoption Networks Community Interest Company
Thanks to funding from the National Lottery Community grant, we were able to hire the waterpark exclusively for adoptive families.
We all had lots of fun going down the slides, floating around the lazy river and catching up with friends.
Over 75 families joined us and for many, it was their first time at the waterpark. It was wonderful to watch their faces as they entered the waterpark. We turned the music down, numbers were much lower than a typical day to enable it to be as inclusive as possible. Many families commented how safe and relaxing it felt knowing it was adoptive families attending.
It was lovely to see so many smiling faces
So lovely to see so many adoptive families making happy memories that will last a lifetime
The event was really good. It was nice to go to somewhere that was the right level of busy where children and parents could enjoy their time together free from judgement. As the venue was not to capacity it gave parents a chance to catch up as well as have fun. Really great event
It was nice to be with others where we won’t don’t judged
Amazing. I got super wet but that was the fun bit!
Enforcing family bonds through fun and enjoyment. Offering much needed bonding time in a safe environment with others in a similar situation facing similar difficulties and challenges.
An absolutely brilliant night! Superbly organised and the kids had a GREAT time! Thank you so much!
Amazing opportunity for our family to be surrounded by others in the same situation, meaning the environment felt safe for our kids to their authentic selves and us parents had the support of other families who walk in our shoes. Fun was had by parents and kids, zero queuing for rides, pool and changing rooms weren’t too busy either - perfect!! Thanks so much x
