Child

“I loved the drumming and dancing. I loved the clay and making flags, and I love being a play champion!”

Parent

“It’s great to see free play with little structure. With more cars on the road there is less play out on the streets, it is nice to see they are being given a safe place to play freely.”

Practitioner

“Taking part in PlayBoard training has allowed me to come out of my comfort zone and helped me to understand how to engage with young people.”

Setting
