#Playwork #PlayMatters
From a rain-drenched joy-filled #adventureplayground on Monday to sun-drenched terraces at Houses of Parliament yesterday launching @playengland 10 year strategy #ItAllStartsWithPlay
Now which politicians will stand up so all children have space time & freedom to play like this?
Uplifted to attend @PlayEngland’s launch of *It All Starts with Play!* 10-year strategy at @HouseofCommons. Their vision aligns with the Raising the Nation Play Commission’s goals to champion every child’s right to play. 👏🙏 @EugeneMinogue @TomHayesBmouth for your leadership
🌟 🎉 Congratulations to @HarPAofficial who recently won a ‘Play & Community Development’ Award at the 2025 National Playwork Awards, recognising their work in the local community!

So proud of @HarPAofficial for winning The Play and Community Development Award 2025 at the at the National Play Worker conference earlier this week. Having worked there for over 3 years as part of Forest Fridays I am in no doubt their accomplishment is well deserved
