Welcome to Partners In Play’s website

Partners in Play (PIP) is an independent charity, established in 1996 which offers direct support and information to families of children / young people with disabilities. PIP is based in Wishaw and operates throughout North Lanarkshire.

We aim to support and signpost families to the range of opportunities available to them, to promote the development of inclusive recreational opportunities for children and young people in their local communities by, helping clubs and organisation’s to become confident and open to children of all abilities.

We do this by

• Helping to build the whole family’s confidence through our support workers’
  help and information.
• Supporting organisation’s to develop skills, abilities and confidence to include
  the child.
• Promoting equality.
• Developing relationships with local organisation’s so that they can confidently include children with additional support needs into local community activities.

The main services we provide are

• Initial Inclusive Support
• Route 13
• Activity Weekends
