What we do
The aims of the Devon Play Association
(devonplay)
devonplay's
mission is the fulfilment of Article 31 of the United Nations
Convention on the Rights of the Child:
- To recognise the right of the child to rest and leisure,
to engage in play and recreational activities appropriate to
the age of the child and to participate freely in cultural life
and the arts.
- To respect and promote the right of the child to participate
fully in cultural and artistic life and to encourage the provision
of appropriate and equal opportunities for cultural, artistic,
recreational and leisure activity.

- acting as an umbrella organisation; and,
- delivering hands-on local projects in four main areas;
- work with communities,
- outdoor and environmental play,
- information provision,
- consultation with children.
