Your support will directly benefit playful changes for children, families and communities across the country.
Play is vital for children, young people and communities. It’s the main way that they enjoy their daily lives, make friends and learn about the world around them. Through play children develop social, physical, and cognitive skills, creativity, cultural awareness and resilience. They learn to manage risks, make decisions and develop their identities.
The UN Conventions on the Rights of the child requires governments to respect, protect and fulfil the right to play of all children through legislation, planning and budgets.
However, children are experiencing many barriers to play including traffic, crime, time spent on screen, social segregation and the busy, structured lives of families.
“You may be a bit afraid that you have ‘forgotten how to play’. I promise you, you have not. Play does not require you to be a creative genius although it may help
you become one.”
As children’s opportunities for play have reduced, there has been a growth in childhood obesity, mental health problems, excessive use of screens / social media and other child related issues.
Play England is a national charity whose primary purpose is to campaign for and support the development of quality play provision, playful environments and play conducive policies
in England.
Play England provide manifestos, publications, guidance and practical support in order to rally for improvements for children’s opportunities to play across the country.
Play Day is one of our national campaigns to promote children’s right to play. This sees a national day where children’s play is celebrated and organisations across the country provide play events for local children and families and practical support to rally for improvements.
