A CHILDREN’S area at a Lichfield city centre venue has been given a revamp.

The space is part of the coffee shop area at The Hub at St Mary’s.

It had previously been filled with toys donated by members of the public – but fundraising and partnerships chief Helen Campbell has secured funding from Staffordshire County Council and Lichfield City Council to give the space a makeover.

The play area has been refreshed with new toys and a collection of books provided through a community pledge led by The Story Nook.

Hayley Gilliam, who designed the space at The Hub, said:

> “We really wanted the refurbished area to reflect the creative arts charity that we are, so we are putting a creative slant on what we put in there.  
>  
> “We’ll have a range of toys to help to develop children’s creativity, from role play to construction and sensory toys.  
>  
> “It’s ideally aimed at younger children up to five years of age to fill a gap for Lichfield’s young families through the week.”
