Brilliant to be working with Save the Children UK on this campaign. Let’s all get behind a #SummerOfPlay


An ad hoc coalition of children’s advocates, led by Save the Children UK, @playengland, Playing Out and Professor Dodd, is today calling on the country to get behind a campaign to give children a great ‘Summer of Play’ as they emerge from the coronavirus restrictions.
