#SpacesForPlay

Marking the International Day of Play - Forces Children Scotland Article 31 of the UNCRC says that every child has the right to relax, play and take part in a wide range of cultural and artistic activities.

It’s Playday, the UK’s national day for play!

This year’s theme, #SpacesForPlay rings true for children and young people from Armed Forces families.

It's national #Playday2025 highlighting the importance of safe, welcoming and accessible playful spaces and places for children & young people of all ages and abilities, where communities can come together through play & #physicalactivity across generations

@playengland.bsky.social #SpacesforPlay

Every child has the right to play — but not all children have the same access to safe, inclusive, welcoming spaces.

This #Playday2025, we’re backing the call for better spaces for play.

Let’s build communities where play is expected, protected, and respected — every day.
