15 May 2024Yesterday marked the official launch of the Association of Play Industries’ (API) brand new campaign, #PathwayToPlay.
The API is urging the next UK government to prioritise investment in public playgrounds, recognising them as vital hubs for outdoor play and crucial to the health and wellbeing of the nation’s children.
They 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
They would like your help in sharing their manifesto far and wide and have put all their assets HERE for you to access and share. These include:
- A social media pack with suggested posts for X, Linked In and Facebook
- Copy for your newsletters
- Campaign graphics
