Trust for London
We are very excited that Trust for London has agreed to fund our Communities United for Play project.
We will work alongside local campaigners, supporting them to successfully challenge threats to local play spaces or services and develop a toolbox for future campaigners in the process.
Garfield Weston Foundation
The Garfield Weston Foundation has awarded us £40k in core funding over two years (25/26 and 26/27).
For London Play to be able to support play providers and enablers across the capital, to advocate for play and to develop innovative projects, we need a strong core. With the vast majority of our funding committed to direct project delivery, we are really grateful to have some of our core costs covered by the Garfield Weston Foundation. Thank you!
The National Lottery Community Fund
The National Lottery Communities Fund is supporting our APEX project, facilitating reciprocal visits between children and playworkers from some of London’s fabulous adventure playgrounds. In doing so it is building connections within and between communities and through documenting these, providing material for a booklet and short film to celebrate and promote these vital and unique places.
Mayor of London
The Mayor’s Young London Inspired Fund is supporting our exciting Camp Build project, giving 11-15 year olds the chance to camp out and ‘build in the wild’. Groups of young people from adventure playgrounds will acquire skills that they can use when they return to their playgrounds, to help with the upkeep and development of the site.
In 2021 our Formula Fun go kart build and race events will be part of the Mayor’s Let’s Do London campaign to bring Londoners and visitors back into the city in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
