Story

This back-to-school season - support children who dream of accessing formal education.

As children across Europe settle back into school and look forward to playtimes, hundreds of refugee children living in northern France don’t have access to shelter, safety or spaces to play.

Project Play is working to change this! We provide a mobile play service to create spaces for children to process trauma, develop key skills and make positive memories.

This autumn, we have partnered with the amazing Outdoor Play and Learning (OPAL) CIC to support #playforeverychild.

Like us, OPAL believes that every child has the right to play. For this reason, they have pledged to match each donation up to a WHOPPING £30,000.

This means that for every £1 you donate, they’ll donate £1 - doubling your impact!

If we match every penny of this - we’d raise £60,000. This would run our play sessions for eight months. That’s over 200 sessions and 550 hours of play! Can you help us get there?

With your help, we have the opportunity to make sure that more children are able to access space to play in 2025.

Help us bring play to children who need it.

#PlayForEveryChild.
