Polmont Playgroup

30/08/2026

We are a tad off our Fundraising Target, might you spare a pound or two to sponsor our efforts to raise money for our Charity?

Polmont Playgroup is taking on the Edinburgh Kiltwalk on Sunday 13 September 2026.

Our playleaders, volunteers & trustees have registered for the 21-mile Mighty Stride from Holyrood Park to Murrayfield Stadium, raising funds to support Polmont Playgroup’s work with children, families and the wider community.

Approximately 500 visits are made to our building every week. Fundraising like this helps us protect and improve our community facility, maintain affordable activities and continue providing welcoming opportunities for local families.

If you or your organisation would like to support our walkers, donations can be made here:

https://www.justgiving.com/page/polmontplaygroup

Eligible donations may also benefit from Gift Aid, adding up to 25% at no additional cost to the donor.

Donations of every size—and shares of this post—will be sincerely appreciated.

🦈☕ Baby Shark in high heels…enjoying afternoon tea for breakfast. Because obviously. 🧁☕🎂

Baby Shark, do-do, do-do, do-do (you’re welcome 😂)

Our children absolutely LOVE exploring our huge dressing-up collection at Polmont Playgroup. One minute they’re a shark enjoying a sophisticated tea party, the next they’re a princess, firefighter, superhero, dinosaur… or something completely of their own invention! 🦖👑🦸‍♀️

Dressing up might look like simple fun, but there’s so much happening while they play — imagination, storytelling, confidence, communication and learning to play together.

And sometimes… impeccable afternoon-tea etiquette. 😂☕🦈

Who says Baby Shark can’t be fancy? 💛
