Islington: Your thoughts on play and freetime activity
The Big Lottery Fund (BLF) has provisionally allocated Islington £606,433 to spend on children and young people’s play and free time activity.
To bid for this cash Islington Council and its partners are putting together a 5 year play plan to show how play and free time for children and young people in the borough can be increased or improved. Out of this assessment a series of projects which can be funded by the Lottery money will be identified and bid for.
How you can help.
We need you to fill in the response box below and give us some ideas on what you think about children and young peoples play / free time activities in the borough, as well as what kind of play project you would like to see and what issues in our area do you think they will address?
You can be any age!
You can also help us make this strategy more interesting:
- Tell us what your best memory is, or was, of play or free time activity when you were under 18
- Let us know of favourite play memories from your mum, dad, grandma, grandad (or anyone you want!) - within reason of course!
Are there any rules?
