Via Kickstarter, the public are invited to support this revolutionary new publication designed to bring joy, creativity, and wellbeing to children aged 5 to 10.

Founder Jenny Inglis said, “I’m a mother of three who has experienced foster care both as a child and as a foster carer, so I care deeply about the wellbeing of children. With Hoopla magazine, I’m hoping to make it easier for parents and carers to help keep protect their children’s wellbeing.”
