Playground Partnerships 2008

If you are helping to plan improvements to your school’s play spaces then this may be the answer to your funding problems.

School within the UK that wish to improve their play spaces have the opportunity to apply for funding through the Playground Partnerships Initiative 2008. A total of £500,000 is available to fund specific improvements and developments to their play environments. Schools can apply for awards of £1,000, £2,000, £5,000 or £10,000. All schools that are shortlisted will receive at least £250 – so it might still be worth the effort!

Schools wishing to apply will first of all need to order the free Playground Partnerships resource pack. To be considered for an award, schools need to submit a folder of work/evidence and a completed application form by post. Applicants are encouraged to develop a “pupil-led approach”; involve the whole school; encourage input from the wider school community and include pupils with additional support needs.

The closing date for applications is 18 July 2008.
