Playground honoured

Story: Patrick Meleady

Pitsmoor Adventure Playground User Group was officially recognised and commended highly at this years UK Play Conference in Eastbourne, which represents the UK play sector and community. The judging panel selected Pitsmoor as being one of the six best playwork teams in the whole of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Playground worker Laura Watkins said,

“It is a great honour and it demonstrates to the Council, and others making decisions on cutting services to children, young people and families, that a rush to make cuts is not always right, and that valuable services can be lost and can cause detriment. Pitsmoor Adventure Playground User Group has proven the Council wrong, this service was worth saving, play is essential in the lives of children and families and if given a chance and support, they can thrive and succeed as we have proven.”
