Amazing Day at Beale Park

On a beautiful hot and sunny day this month families from Children’s Centres, Homestart and Alana house boarded a Horseman’s coach in Reading bound for Beale park.
​The trip was organised by Mia (pictured) who joined Reading Family Aid's Outings Team this year.

The families were delighted to see so many different animals and birds. Some children even got chance to pet some animals. 
Lots of children and some parents cooled off in the paddling pool.

Everyone took advantage of the free tickets to climb aboard the little train which gave them a tour of the whole park.

As the tired but happy families gathered to get the coach home we were told about her son who had been chatting away all day even though he was usually non verbal. She said they will be talking about their day at the farm for the days and weeks to come. A testament to the value of our family outings.

Hannah from Alana House said “We had a brilliant day out together at Beale Park. We all and especially the kids got such a kick out of petting the animals, swimming and running about, eating yummy ice creams, joining in with the animal talks and riding through the park on the train. Thank you RFA for inviting Alana House to Beale Park, what a fun summer's day out :).”
Priya, also from Alan House said “It was an amazing day! We saw so many different animals and learnt interesting facts about them - my personal favourite were the reindeers. It was lovely seeing families enjoying themselves and spending time together in such a fun and beautiful place.”
