Great news! 👏👏👏

Let’s develop a new National Play Strategy for England @LisaNandy @DCMS @educationgovuk

There has been no national play strategy in England since 2008, which was developed by the last Labour government, together with @PlayEngland ⤵️

Sticky situation at the London #AdventurePlayAwards!! A giant web has overtaken Cinema 1 @RichMixLondon

[London Play @londonplay]

London is one of the richest cities in the world. According to @Forbes it is home to a staggering 227,000 millionaires; and 35 billionaires. Meanwhile some 700,000 children in the capital are growing up in poverty. A #PovertyFreeLondon is the only moral answer.

[Eugene Minogue @EugeneMinogue]

An inspiring afternoon spent with my fellow Commissioners during the #RaisingTheNation Play Commission’s evidence session!

We had the privilege of listening to a diverse array of witnesses who shared their valuable insights, personal experiences, and expert perspectives.

The Play Commission aims to lead a national conversation about the importance of play and how to support and encourage children to play more.

The Commission is gathering evidence and expertise to inform the policy recommendations that we make in our final report in June 2025.

We are calling for organisations and individuals with professional expertise or lived experience to share their knowledge and views by submitting evidence by 30th September 2024.
