Choose Play (East Lothian Play Association) is a dynamic local charity supporting the right to play. We deliver place-based community support to children and families through play, with the aim of supporting children, families and communities to flourish.· For many families, ensuring their children get sufficient outdoor play to meet their social and developmental needs is challenging, and access to play spaces and opportunities are not equal. We address inequalities by focusing on areas of higher deprivation and working with families with children with additional support needs. Choose Play raises understanding of the value of play and increases adults’ confidence to provide play. We aim to: · Make healthy, nurturing places to play, especially outdoors in nature · Enable children’s idea and views to be heard and have influence · Enthuse and support families, schools and communities to make play happen · Deliver inclusive and accessible play opportunities in all seasons.
