Cardiff Toy Libraries PLUS or ‘What have we got to play with?’

NATLL / Play Matters in Wales is carrying out a Cardiff-wide piece of work to discover who has what resources to play with and how we could help improve access to it. This is funded by a Cymorth under-spend allocation.

They will be contacting play and care providers, youth and adult providers, venues and organisations and partnership members and networks across Cardiff to gather as much information and evidence to plan and develop a city wide approach to the sharing of resources for play. ‘Play’ is meant in its widest sense – for any child or young person of any age and ability, freely chosen as well structured.

Can you offer input in this area?
