UNITED THROUGH PLAY
Play Aid is an international non-profit organisation using the power of play
to enhance young people's health and wellbeing.
YOUNG PEOPLE ARE IN CRISIS
16-24 year olds are now the loneliest age group.
Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death among 15-29 year olds.
Nearly half of mental health services globally are struggling to meet demand.
CHANGE THE GAME
Play helps us to develop creativity, resillience, and character. It helps us to reflect, to find meaning, to expand our minds. Play also provides us with a way to connect. It gives us a shared identity and helps develop key interpersonal skills such as communication and negotiation. Through play, we enhance our social connections, improve ourselves, and find meaningful ways to contribute to society. Learn more about how we're using the power of play to help young people in the UK and beyond.
