This Play and Learn Scheme (Pals), is an established play-based home visiting service available to families in Ramsgate. Pals offers a home visiting play service to families with very young children, with the aim of improving parenting skills and reducing isolation. A play worker visits referred families each week and families may also attend a community group (open to all) on a weekly basis. Play workers also run a specialist play group for families identified as in particular need.
