"In some remote areas of Uganda only 1 in 4 children attend a school. Play Action have found that building playgrounds as community resources near schools, helps encourage parents to sign up their children to education." Tim talks about his time in Uganda https://t.co/C05ISjQ5GI

Our volunteers go above & beyond. We are so proud of our volunteers who have worked hard to fundraise over £17,000 above their targets. This is a monumental achievement that we can't thank our volunteers enough for. Just £5 more from 1 volunteer alone can make all the difference.

We love, love, love seeing fundraising in action like this from Lauren. It takes organisation, planning, painting skills and the support of friends and family to make events like this happen and that's before Lauren joins us in Uganda in August! #fundraising

Applying the finishing touches 🎨 It's that moment before opening day when the playgrounds our volunteer have been working hard to build come to life. Here's a snap of one of our playgrounds in Kenya getting ready to open! #whatwedo #internationalvolunteering

Sometimes we need a moment of gratitude. Meetings for Project Play often look like this. Beautiful views and an opportunity for our volunteers and staff to come together and debrief about the day and the tasks ahead. #gratitude

It's all hands on deck in Kenya 🔨 It takes a whole team of amazing volunteers to make the playgrounds we build come to life. Each and every volunteer contributes to what soon becomes a play space that children and communities will value for years to come! ❤️ #teamwork

We love hearing how enriching #volunteer experiences have been. For Marissa, whose completed a 2-week volunteer project in Uganda, she's increased her knowledge and skills as a Primary Education Student. She says "I found the overall experience life changing and very enjoyable."

It's not just the weather in the UK hotting up that's making us smile at Play Action. Open days are a go as our first playground builds come together...when everyone get's to celebrate their hard work & the endless play opportunities for children in the communities we support!
