On August 7th 2024; our fantastic Play Team welcome over 1000 people to Bedwellty
House and Park for National Play Day. The Play Team hosted an amazing event with
messy play; a slip and slide; arts and crafts; Wild Tots; and lots more! We were also
joined by some amazing services who were able to promote themselves within the
community.

We also want to thank everyone who attended the event as these events would not be possible without all the people who support them. Alongside Play Day, our play team have been
incredibly busy with lots of other Play sessions!

Throughout the summer, our team (including 20 play volunteers), delivered a 6-week summer holiday play programme. This included a staggering 41 open access play sessions and 11 Wild Tot sessions across 13 different locations in Blaenau Gwent! The play team were also able to provide a range of snacks at each session, including: sandwiches, fresh fruit, cereal bars and bottled water. They also offered a range of activities at these sessions including: themed sessions  with games, arts & crafts, sand and water play, messy play, imagination playground and sports.

Finally, we want to say an enormous THANK YOU to our amazing play volunteers. We wouldn’t be able to run so many amazing sessions across the summer without these incredible people giving up their own time!
