“I learned more about community and I joined a club in my school, and it has helped me make new friends.”

Parent

“My daughter was born during lockdown … because of play she is so much more social in general.”

Practitioner

“Your webinar was so incredibly informative and very well received by our learners. It provided them with such valuable insights … it was truly wonderful to be part of such a meaningful and engaging session.”

Setting

“PlayBoard is a peace of sunlight in a very heavy storm. One of the very few places we can seek help and support … I don’t think there is enough acknowledgement and appreciation for what they do for our sector.”
