Playing fair

February 28th, 2007

The Big Lottery Fund announced last week that Teignbridge District Council and Torbay Council are among the first of 32 local authority areas from across England to benefit from the £124 million Children’s Play programme.

The wheeze, run as part of the Play England project, aims for all children and young people in England to have regular access and opportunity for free, inclusive, local play provision and play space.

Ben Ward, Play England regional manager for the South West, told PRSD: “We are really pleased that all the South West bids were successful this time around. The grants will make a huge difference to our communities. Part of the money will go to employing playworkers who have fantastic results in encouraging children and young people to get outside and play.”

Playworkers, you say? That sounds like the best job ever! Now who’s up for a big game of kiss chase?! Anybody?! Ach, looks like it’s just you and me again, Captn…
