Blackberry Lane Children’s Centre is fundraising for a play structure and more fencing for its new building, which the centre says is being developed through a partnership with the school district.[1]

The centre says it can have a maximum of eight children per day in its Community Hall space, which it describes as not purpose-built for early childhood education.[1]

The fundraising target is $25,000, and the centre says it has already raised more than 20 per cent of that amount.[1]

The centre says the planned fence would include a sunny area at the front and a shaded area at the back.[1]
