Toybox

In partnership with children and parents, Toybox provides a rights-based outreach service for Traveller children aged 0-4 aimed at tackling inequalities in Traveller education.

The project is core funded by the Department of Education and is delivered by nine staff to eight areas across Northern Ireland. This includes our peer support worker who brings great insight of the Travelling Community to the team. During 2010-11 our team engaged with 162 families and 211 children, and delivered 3483 play sessions.
