Playing Out I'm off to tag my local council and schools to get this on the radar. If everyone did the same I'm sure we can see some action nationwide. Already making plans for a street party for Playday to embrace #SummerOfPlay

My children have benefited so much from playing out since they were allowed to. Let’s make sure every child has a summer of play to rekindle relationships, friendships and reconnect after this tough year for kids. #SummerOfPlay
