Ready, Set, Play Children's Charity

1. What groups do they work with?

1.1. They mostly work with low income families located all over the city of Toronto with their services catered to children.

1.2. Since Toronto is such a diversity city, communities in the west end of the city who need assistance do not necessary look like the ones in the east end. In order to reach the largest number of families in need, they don't focus on a specific community.

2. Why is this important

2.1. By getting children to participate in organized activities, it gives them a chance to learn and play when they usually don't have the opportunity to.

2.2. Encouraging an active lifestyle is beneficial to the children's health in their future.

2.3. Participating in extra curricular activities helps children build a sense of community. This helps them form relationships and give them support systems on their own.

2.4. Children in low income families also experience stress like the adults. By giving them to participate, it is an outlet for the children to release some stress, bettering their mental health
