Our mission is to support children’s play
We believe that children’s play is both a sign and catalyst for healthier individuals, families and communities. Childhood memories are often the most simple. Simple joys come from things like muddy puddles, tree climbing and box forts. We help adults create pop-up adventure playgrounds and playwork events. These give children lots of fun with amazing play adventure experiences.
We set up children’s adventure playground worlds in schools, neighbourhoods and museums. They can be anywhere else where where kids adventure playground is needed. Our services include playwork training, resources and ongoing support for play advocates and child professionals. We weave playwork ethics and practices through all of our work, building relationships with children, colleagues and communities.
Start small, start now, keep going. Let’s change the world together. Join us to create a more playful world!
