Play Forum Grants

Please note– we are not running a separate grant scheme for play days this year, so if you are planning a play day you need to apply to this fund.

The rules concerning the number of applications per organisation and per member have been clarified so please make sure that you read the criteria carefully before applying.

We are also trying to ensure that as many applications as possible meet the “three frees” criteria:  free of cost, free access and free choice of activity.

As the theme for the conference this year is inclusion we are keen to fund projects that are inclusive and promote inclusive play.

The inclusions grant scheme has now closed.  Four grants were awarded in total supporting the following:  a play day for children at Somerset refuges, Forest school fees for children from Fiveways, a play day project that will find ways to encourage disabled children and young people to attend public play days and an accessibility and play audit by disabled children and their families of sites featured on the outdoor play website (launching soon).
