We want to hear from local children and young people about their views on play opportunities and activities outside of school 🛝🎾⚽🛹
This could include their views on indoor and outdoor activities such as sports clubs, youth clubs, green spaces, sport pitches, skate parks, playgrounds and any other places children and young people go in their spare time.
This will help us to understand which play spaces and opportunities are working well and what improvements are needed to be made.
To do this, we are asking parents and carers to help their children complete a short survey:
Survey 2 – for children and young people aged 8 – 11 years:
Survey 3 – for young people who are at secondary school or college:
Plus, there is a prize draw with a chance to win amazon vouchers for those who complete the survey!
We would really welcome any young person’s thoughts and feedback about their play opportunities and activities before Friday 24th January, 2025.
If you have any questions about this important survey, please contact Matthew Jenkins, our Play Sufficiency Lead at: M.Jenkins2@npt.gov.uk
