Playday 2008

Playday - Our streets too!

WHAT'S PLAYDAY?

Playday is the annual celebration of children's right to play.

On Playday and throughout the summer of 2008, thousands of children, young people and communities will get out and play at hundreds of locally organised events across the UK.

Playday 2008 is on Wednesday 6 August.

The campaign theme this year is Give us a go! 

The campaign promotes the benefits of allowing children to manage their own risks whilst playing and aims to counter the risk-averse 'cotton wool' culture that can limit children's play.

Let's make Playday 2008 the biggest and best yet!

ORGANISER SEMINARS

Seminars for Playday organisers were recently held in Birmingham, Manchester, London, Builth Wells and Taunton.

The seminars, attended by over 250 delegates, were an opportunity to learn about putting on a Playday event and to meet fellow Playday organisers.
