Free Time Consortium

Play England is part of the Free Time Consortium, a growing collective of local and specialist organisations working together to increase freedom to play.

The Consortium is founded on the principle of sharing information about how to make sure more children can play more often. Through promotion and practice, local Play Associations and national specialist organisations aim to make sure that all children in England have the time, space and opportunity to play throughout their daily lives.
