Industry unites to call for better spaces on Playday

The UK’s leading play organisations came together during this year’s Playday to call for more inclusive and welcoming spaces where children can play freely and feel part of their communities.

Play organisations of the four home nations urged the government and local authorities to maximise opportunities for play in schools, childcare, youth settings and public spaces which are shaped by the voices, needs, and experiences of children and young people themselves.

The theme for this year’s Playday, on 6 August, was to highlight the importance of quality spaces for play.
