The playgroup brings people together in a range of ways, these include; inter-generational activities, educational and social. Children are able to bring their parents and families to interact and to learn in a safe space. We encourage a wide range of ages and abilities to learn together and to socialize. Kilmood is a rural community and we in the playgroup recognise the wealth of knowledge and skills that members of the community, particulary the older generation have to share with the children, these relationships encourage community cohesion.
