Making time for fun and play
N.I.P.P.E.R.S. has been offering out of school activities since 1973, so this year we are 52. The staff are qualified in Early Years, Playwork and Forest School Leadership. I have been involved with the group since 1978 and am the current chairperson of the Charity. I am a Forest School trainer working for the Mohair Centre Training based in Laughton. N.I.P.P.E.R.S. aims to enable children and young people to develop their full capacity through their leisure activities.

Cancellation Policy

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
