Story
In June 2025 I will be travelling to Uganda for 4 weeks with an awesome and dedicated team of volunteers for the summer! We will be transforming an empty field at a local school into a vibrant playground so that children can access a childhood! This is a great opportunity for me as a first year student at Leeds Beckett University, but I need your help!
I will have the opportunity of facilitating and stimulating play, engaging with parents and gaining valuable experience, oh and teaching them a bit of Yorkshire!
I will be completing a skydive in April/May weather depending, and completing different tasks to raise as much money as possible. This money will go directly to helping the charity and funding key parts of the development I will be covering my own expenses.
I know times are hard but come on help a girl out 😉
Your generous support will enable Play Action International to create a legacy of play within the local community where so that we can create an environment where children's development and well-being are supported and children are able to learn essential skills that will allow them to reach their potential. Join us in creating a legacy of play, laughter, growth, and endless possibilities.
Our playgrounds and play programmes bring about remarkable changes:
- 98% of schools report increase in pupil attendance.
- 74% of children give 'The Playground' as a reason to attend school.
- 83% of teachers report improvements in children's attention and behaviour in classes.
Donate to play a key role in supporting our fundraisers to ensure these amazing projects can happen, ensuring that every swing, slide, and moment of fun in the classroom contributes to a brighter future for disadvantaged children at school and in the wider community. We're incredibly grateful for your support!
