Oban Kids Thrive

🎉 Birthday Parties Idea

We’ve had an idea… and we’d love your thoughts 👇

As part of looking at simple ways to generate income so we can continue to grow what we’re building, this is one idea that’s come through…

Would this be something you’d be interested in for your child’s birthday?

• Hiring the equipment to run your own party
• Or you come to us to host for a donation

We’re looking at keeping things flexible — including donation-based options where possible.

It’s still early stages, but we’d love to know if this is something families in Oban and Argyll would use.

Let us know below 👇

💛 THANK YOU FOR IGNITING OBAN KIDS THRIVE 💛

We’d like to say a special thank you to Highlands and Islands Enterprise for supporting us with a grant towards our start-up costs.

This support has helped us take real steps in bringing Oban Kids Thrive into the community.

Without it, getting started would have been much more challenging.

We’re incredibly grateful for the role HIE has played in helping this vision begin to take shape.

💛 Please join us in saying thank you — on behalf of all the children who will benefit from this.

🌲 A Special Thank You 💛

We’d love to say a heartfelt thank you to Castle Wood Croft , run by Elspeth in Benderloch.

By opening up her croft to us, she has given us the space to host our very first sessions — something that has helped us move forward and bring this vision to life for children in Oban and Argyll.

This kind of support means everything when you’re building something from the ground up 💛

We’d love it if our community could support her too 👇
• Give the page a like
• Follow along
• Drop a comment
• Have a look at what they offer

Let’s support the people who support our children 🌿
