PLAYING TO FULL STRENGTH

摘要

The government has discontinued national play contractors, the play sector is hit with dramatic budget reductions, children are spending more time indoors than out and becoming physically weaker, yet still a positive ambiance flowed throughout the latest GreenSpace conference -The Nature of Play - which focused solely on play provision.Setting the tone for the day, Adrian Voce, co-director of Play England, opened the event with a presentation that discussed the challenges and opportunities for the play sector He also updated delegates on the charity's position: "We are not disappearing, we are not a quango, we are part of the larger charity -The National Childrens Bureau. We have a budget, a team and a work programme, we have a very, very strong vision and track record of delivering big changes across the country and we will be building on that."
