Celebrating 40 years of supporting children, young people and families of White City and surrounding communities

The Venture

The Venture’s foundations are built on grass roots playwork and our adventure playground and indoor play space has been the focal point of community life for the last 40 years.  It has provided a safe and consistent source of connection and support for thousands of families and has been a place for children, young people and their families to play, relax, learn and participate.

What you think of us!

The Venture really is the heart of the community. Not just for children but somewhere that values and encompasses the whole family too! A haven for everyone, a hub for fun and community support no matter what the issue. No judgement, or criticism, just a friendly welcome from the moment we moved to the area and a kind hand ever since. We are very lucky to have the Venture on our doorstep!
The Phelps Family
The Venture to me means, I always see a friendly face and can have a good laugh and my boy can play with his friends and there is always something to do and they always go above and beyond to make special occasions amazing. I honestly can't thank the venture gang enough for all they do for the community x
The Summers Family
The Venture has been by my side from the day I moved to White City. I've had so much go on with family life and the love and support is unreal. I had no one to help me but the Venture - the were a big help and supported me and my kids. ❤️
