Pathway to Play
Our latest campaign – Pathway To Play – is a call to action and a call for change in a world where childhood obesity, poor mental health and sleep issues are on the rise. We are launching a rallying cry to the next UK government to invest in public playgrounds.
With a clear vision of fostering children’s wellbeing, we are urging the UK government to prioritise outdoor play by investing significantly in the UK’s most popular location for outdoor play – public playgrounds.
Our #PathwayToPlay manifesto champions the vital role of outdoor play in enhancing the health and wellbeing of children nationwide. Our call is for a modest yet impactful investment that will transform communities and children’s lives.
We are calling on the next government to make a commitment to:
- Conduct a national audit: assess the quantity, quality and location of public playgrounds
- Ensure long-term sustainability: provide dedicated funding for the installation and upkeep of free-to-use community play spaces
- Increase physical activity levels in schools: integrate outdoor learning into the National Curriculum and fund school play spaces and equipment
Let’s work together to get children outdoors again – promoting their health, happiness and wellbeing.
