Working with others

Planning, developing and maintaining good play provision takes a range of skills and knowledge.

It also needs plenty of persistence and energy. That’s why we all need to work with others, and get support from a variety of people.

It’s all about finding those in the community and local organisations who can offer time, knowledge, skills and moral support.

This means:

  1. Finding partners and supporters
  2. Forming and managing a group to drive a project
