Get organised!

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.

Coming soon - Playday web
shop
The Playday web shop, provided by BTC Group, will
be launched soon! Event organisers will be able to buy Playday
promotional items such as frisbees,
t-shirts, stickers and
banners at a
reduced group-buying rate. To be the first to hear when the web
shop goes live, sign up for Playday email
updates.
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.
