Persil logoPlayday 2008 was supported by Persil.

As well as promoting and supporting the Playday 2008 campaign, Persil is committed to championing the benefits of a more free childhood  through the launch of their new campaign 'Every child has the right'.

A message from Persil:

Persil understands that mums want to help their children to enjoy all the best bits of being a kid and really make the most of their childhood – whether it’s through play, exploration, adventure, self-expression, unleashing their imaginations, trying something new or simply revisiting an old favourite. And, of course, some mess will be involved – whether it’s the muddy evidence of an exciting bike ride or the result of getting creative with finger paints! That’s why we’ve started ‘every child has the right to be a child’ as a way of inspiring mums to really make the most of those childhood years.

To kick off, we’ll be launching the Persil Free Play Initiative 2008, which aims to increase the amount of free play children take part in. We want to see kids throughout the UK having a great time and really learning and developing through unstructured play.

As part of this, we’ll also be supporting Playday on 6 August 2008, as well as bringing you tons of fun tips, activities and exciting events throughout summer 2008.
