Who are the two play workers and what is their role?

Cherie Morgan is the Strategic Play Development Worker and Soozy Lai is the Operational Play Development Worker.  They will be working to promote Free Play at a number of levels:

The "Come & Play" Pilot Project will work with two green, natural spaces in 'targeted areas' of the city.These spaces (big or small!) will be developed to become safe and inviting, natural spaces for local children to play freely.Soozy will be running sessions with children and their parents/carers/guardians, supporting both children and adults to take ownership of and make use of out-door spaces for Free Play.

Wednesday 4^th August this year is Play Day – a nationwide event that calls for everyone to encourage children to go out to play.Why not organise an event in your area?   Cherie and Soozy will be contacting local groups with information and ideas, and would be happy to hear from you if you need support to organise your event.

They are also looking at putting together a Community Project Portfolio.This might involve asking local communities to put forward a proposal for developing one of their spaces for Free Play.   Cherie could then link with large companies and organisations, which may be able to provide a workforce to see a project through.

We hope you can get involved!
