Melton's junior parkrun makes strides to be even more inclusive
Birch Wood Area Special School has been working with organisers of Melton’s Play Close Junior Parkrun to help make the event more inclusive.
A new guide has been produced, including photographs and communication symbols, to help children and young people understand what happens at the Junior Parkrun and to encourage others to get involved.
Sarah Wilson, the school’s communication lead, visited the event in Play Close Park with a group of students, Fields, Molly and Amie, and their families, to present the guide to Andy Nicholls and Rachel Heggs, who organise it every Sunday morning at 9am.

Birch Wood School is committed to supporting local events and groups and to help them to become more inclusive.
