Forget cosmetic surgery, I can tell you now that the people who make play their lives actually look and present as at least 10 years younger than their age. Everybody I work with has that natural effervescence & glow Thinking of other playful peeps too sarah smith smizz ✏️✏️✏️ スミッツ Fiona K

This PlayLaw is wonderful, in a world where spaces are designed to stop young people loitering & this is just a part of being young. Us older folk took loitering for granted. Better, it's in a space where young folk love to loiter. Wonderful stuff ThePlaylaws Cambridge Junction

Not a demand - an invitation, as play should be. These plaques have been developed by the community, as an invitation for all to add a bit more play into their lives ❤️ thanks to PlayfulAnywhere

Shame on Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson, who refused to provide 10,000 extra NHS beds to help manage covid and to bring down waiting lists. Instead, they wanted more use of the private sector. Absolutely disgraceful and disgusting decision making at the start of the pandemic
