About Play Wales

Play Wales is the national charity for children’s play in Wales. It’s funded by the Welsh Government.

  • We raise awareness of every child’s need – and right – to play.
  • We promote good practice at every level of decision making, in every place where children might play.
  • We provide advice and guidance to support everyone who is interested in – or has a responsibility for – making sure children are able to play.
  • We aim to make Wales a place that recognises and provides well for every child's play needs.

Our vision – A future where play is respected for its critical importance to childhood.

Our mission – Advocating for a play friendly Wales and championing children’s right to play.
