Family Business Launches Crowdfunding for Inclusive Adventure Play Centre
Swindon is set to get a groundbreaking new play centre thanks to Ogeg Ltd, a family-run business led by Matt Jeffery. The firm has kicked off a crowdfunding drive to raise £65,000 for an all-inclusive adventure playground named after Matt’s kids, Ollie and Erin.
Play for All Abilities with a Green Twist
With over four decades of early years teaching experience under their belts, the Ogeg team is ready to roll out a play centre that’s far from your average playground. The Ogeg Adventure Play Centre will champion inclusivity, welcoming children of all abilities.
- Indoor soft play zone equipped with sensory tools and wheelchair access
- Outdoor playground designed for children with mobility needs
- A firm focus on environmental sustainability and educational exploration
Passion Project with Community at Heart
Matt Jeffery said: “Every child, regardless of their abilities, deserves a safe and welcoming environment where they can play, learn, and explore.” The crowdfunding cash will cover everything from securing the site and planning to the build and equipment both inside and out.
Ogeg Ltd isn’t just about play. They’re pledging 5% of profits to children’s and environmental charities. Plus, the family plans to volunteer for local community projects like litter picks and tree plantings.
Inspired by Family, Fueled by Community
The drive for the centre comes straight from Matt’s children’s book, Adventures with Ollie, the Lost Hat, aiming to create a space where kids can embark on their own adventures. The Jeffery family is deeply involved at every stage, with Matt’s dad hunting for the perfect location, and his wife, sister, and mum handling planning and finances. Ollie and Erin themselves help test and fine-tune the centre’s features.
This £65,000 crowdfunding campaign could turn this dream into a landmark play centre for the South West. Every penny counts, with backers rewarded for supporting this heartwarming, community-focused project.
