Conwy Play Development is a voluntary and statutory sector partnership.
Volunteers
The play development team offer opportunities for anyone interested in volunteering in the play setting. Volunteers are supported throughout and are given the opportunity to access free training and many qualifications. All volunteers must have a Criminal Records Bureau Check.
Training Work Shops
The play development team provide training workshops related to play and to providing quality play provision. These workshops are offered free to volunteers and community groups whenever possible. For further information contact Martin King-Sheard, Principal Play Officer, at the Conwy Voluntary Services Council on 01492 523841 or Natalie Hankey, Play Projects and Children's Provision Manager on 01492 575558.
Playing Out provides children from 5 years and over with the chance to freely choose their play in an outdoor, staffed play setting.
The Play Ranger Project offers children the opportunity to play freely, actively and safely in spaces within communities using natural/scrap resources. Our provision encourages children to be creative and take risks and be challenged in their play.
Playday is the annual celebration of children's right to play and happens on the first Wednesday in August each year. Play in the Parks are smaller open access play events for children from 5-14 and targeted at specific communities during school holidays.
The Conwy Play Strategy is a strategic document that sets out Conwy's commitment to upholding children's right to play. Along with the Play Strategy Action Plan this document governs the direction of play development in Conwy.
