The Management team behind the HFCA are John Echlin (Chair) John Thirkettle (Vice Chair) Janet Nuth (Hon. Secretary) Jackie Westbrook (Minutes & Website Design) Valerie Mohammadi (Play Scheme Co-ordinator) The play schemes were set up to offer affordable play opportunities to all local children in the long hot summer holidays. Funded by the LB Hillingdon. We are pleased to say that all schemes are set at an affordable price. Each play scheme is managed by a qualified play manager and qualified play leaders. All are CRB checked. Many have been in their post for numerous years. You will be introduced to each play scheme manager and team as you read through this booklet.
