Outing to Beale Park

On August 6th Reading Family Aid took a coachload of families to Beale Wildlife Park which is an outdoor wildlife park within 40 acres set against the River Thames in Berkshire. A home to an exciting mix of animals from all over the world and other attractions including play areas, a paddling pool and a train ride.

A family referred by the Weller Centre said: "The children had the best time at Beale park, really appreciate the tickets. It helped us out a lot, as days out with children is so expensive. Was an amazing learning experience and great fun."

And a family from Homestart said "It was such a lovely day - thank you. The children loved seeing all the animals." and the Homestart organiser said "From my point of view - it was a very positive time for some of our families connecting with each other. One mum was able to really spend some valuable, focussed time with her child - enjoying doing something together ."
