Orphir Community Play Area

22/04/2024

👀

You keen beans out there might have noticed that we’ve had a name change! We’ve gone from “Orphir Toddlers” to “Orphir Community Play Area”.

🛝 As the main function of starting this page was to build awareness of, and fundraise for our new playpark, we felt that a change of name was more appropriate.

Follow along to find out about upcoming events and get involved with creating a fabulous play area for the children of Orphir

🥳
