Welcome to Playwork Partnerships

Playwork Partnerships, part of the University of Gloucestershire is a small, creative team of people dedicated to enriching children and young people's lives, by supporting their wellbeing through play.

We support the need to create the right environments for children and young people to play through:

  • Knowledge exchange
  • Support
  • Advocacy
  • Research

Our primary focus is around creating learning communities that inspire. This work includes an offer of learning programmes from entry level training courses through to post graduate qualifications in Higher Education, as well as keynote speakers, online training and bespoke consultancy training courses and seminars.

Love Outdoor Play 

Love Outdoor Play

Playwork Partnerships is part of the Play England Free Time Consortium, a group of 17 local and specialist organisations working together to increase children and young people's opportunities for play and recreation. The Cabinet Office's Social Action Fund grant is contributing to the Consortium to increase social action in support of children's play. Partners are embarking on a number of exciting new projects to make this happen and Play England's Love Outdoor Play campaign is calling on everyone to Love Outdoor Play in whatever way they can.
