“The 2018 census defines ‘activity limitations’ as when a person has a lot of difficulty or cannot do a range of activities including walking, seeing, cognition, self-care and communicating. 3611 of the total Timaru District population have activity limitations and 516 of those are under 15. “The 2018 census defines ‘activity limitations’ as when a person has a lot of difficulty or cannot do a range of activities including walking, seeing, cognition, self-care and communicating. 3611 of the total Timaru District population have activity limitations and 516 of those are under 15. My interactions with the community make it clear that not just Timaru but the wider region (and large parts of the South Island) do not have play facilities that can cater effectively to these families. If one child or caregiver is unable to effectively access and use a space it often limits use of the space for the whole family. This is a major part of our community who may be missing out, and the idea we could improve this situation has become a key driver of our project.” - Chris Fauth. CPlay Member
