Public #playgrounds are among the most visible and valued assets that local authorities manage. New article on what good playground upkeep looks like in @GovBusiness: governmentbusiness.co.uk/fea… @apiplay #APImembers

Launching today, the #PlayCommission's interim report, sponsored by @apiplay, shines a light on the worrying state of #play for #children in England. Let's get children playing out again. @CfYoungLives

Great event at @UKHouseofLords yesterday to launch this report. Thanks to @theTCPA @FieldsInTrust #DinahBornat @timrgill & others for their hard work. @apiplay fully supports the recommendations and is working with LAs to prioritise safe, #inclusive #playgrounds. #PathwayToPlay

Time's running out! Take action NOW before #Budget2024. We're urging @RachelReevesMP to invest in #community #playgrounds. Download the template letter to your MP here: rebrand.ly/lxa3e4v This is your last chance to help make #children's #play a top priority! #PathwayToPlay

One simple yet powerful public health measure – investment in a national network of public #play spaces – would dramatically improve the lives of millions of #children for generations. @RachelReevesMP will you include play in #Budget2024? #PathwayToPlay rebrand.ly/93q2zbm

Two interesting talks at #Lab24 this morning: 1. How Can a Labour Government Ensure It Invests Well in Public Services? 2. Tackling crime and anti-social behaviour locally A key part of the answer to both of these is to build good, inclusive COMMUNITY #PLAYGROUNDS!

Great end to day 2 of the #LabourConference2024. A packed #ChildrenAtTheTable reception with great speakers talking about the need to listen to children and include them in decisions followed by a @CfYoungLives talk - both events included young people in the event itself. #play

So many great sessions, so little time! Day 2 of the The @UKLabour Party conference is as thought-provoking as Day 1. I’ve been splitting my time between community, health and education focused sessions. #lab24 #play #learningthroughplay

I’m at the Labour Party Conference representing the API and even after just half a day here I’m blown away by the people who care and want to make the world better. It’s been great to see the reception to the APIs #pathwaytoplay and opportunities for collaboration abound! #play

Today I've written to @Keir_Starmer, @wesstreeting, @bphillipsonMP & @AngelaRayner asking for urgent investment in public #playgrounds. Access to outdoor #play spaces is essential for every child: rebrand.ly/jy99zuo #PathwayToPlay #InvestInPlaygrounds #OutdoorPlay
