Play on the Isle of Wight

We’re changing Play on the Isle of Wight and we’d like everyone to get involved!

We are going to be creating a new Isle of Wight Play Strategy, exploring new opportunities for play across the island and championing new thinking about play itself.

Because Play is an essential part of learning and development, the government, with Play England and The Big Lottery Fund are working together to give local councils more funds to create better Play opportunities for children and young people.

For this to work we need you!

We want to include all of the ideas – old and new – from the local community, and most importantly put them into action.
