Resources

A wide range of reources are available to support Playday event organisers.

 

Playday promotional items


Each year, we produce a wide-range of resources to support Playday event organisers. From promotional postcards and event posters, to the Get organised! guide and event organisers’ seminars, there’s plenty available to help make your Playday event a success!

Last year we also launched the Playday web shop, provided by BTC Group, where event organisers could buy Playday promotional items such as frisbees, t-shirts, stickers and banners at a reduced group-buying rate.


More information about the Playday web shop and other resources to support Playday 2010 event organisers will be available here soon. To be the first to find out about all the latest campaign news, sign up for Playday email updates.

Playday logo

We realise that some Playday event organisers like to produce their own promotional materials. You can request the use of the Playday logo for these purposes by emailing playday@ncb.org.uk. We require proofs prior to print whenever the logo is featured, which can be approved quickly by email.

Please note

The use of the Playday branding or branded promotional merchandise is not permitted to generate commercial income, unless given prior permission from Play England.

 

Photography at your event

Playday is a great opportunity to make some great memories and take some fantastic action-packed photographs! Check out our guidance notes on photography at your event, including a template photo consent form.

 

Scrapstores

Why not contact your local scrapstore to get further resources for your Playday event? All sorts of donated and re-used materials are available, perfect for building go-karts, dens and all sorts! There is a network of resource centres and scrapstores throughout the UK, visit the directory on the Children's Scrapstore website to find your nearest one.
