Play in the Community
In the Play in the Community section you will find how to guides, practical advice and inspiring examples. We’ve chosen them to help increase and improve play opportunities for the children and teenagers in your community.
This section will be useful to anyone interested in improving play in their local neighbourhood, including:
- Community councils
- Community groups
- Neighbourhood Watch groups
- Parents, grandparents and carers
- Those who work with children, teenagers and families
- Tenants’ and residents’ associations
- Town and community councillors.
You may want to refurbish or upgrade an existing play space or create a new one. You may want to raise awareness or money or start a campaign to support play. Or you might be looking for ideas and examples to inspire you. This section of the website will help you find what you need.
