Get organised! guide

Playday 2010 Get organised guide 

The Get organised! guide is full of useful information that will help you organise a Playday event, raise awareness of local issues, and give children, young people and whole communities a chance to get out and play. The comprehensive guide has everything you need to know to organise a large-scale public event, and is equally useful if you're organising a smaller event - just pick and choose the bits that you need.

Playday promotional items
The Playday web shop, provided by BTC Group, will be launched soon!

Playday logo

We realise that some Playday event organisers like to produce their own promotional materials. You can request the use of the Playday logo for these purposes by emailing playday@ncb.org.uk. We require proofs prior to print whenever the logo is featured, which can be approved quickly by email.

Please note

The use of the Playday branding or branded promotional merchandise is not permitted to generate commercial income, unless given prior permission from Play England.

 

Photography at your event

Playday is a great opportunity to make some great memories and take some fantastic action-packed photographs! Check out our guidance notes on photography at your event, including a template photo consent form.

 

Scrapstores

Why not contact your local scrapstore to get further resources for your Playday event? All sorts of donated and re-used materials are available, perfect for building go-karts, dens and all sorts! There is a network of resource centres and scrapstores throughout the UK, visit the directory on the Children's Scrapstore website to find your nearest one.
