About Assemble Play
Assemble Play is a specialist child-led, Playwork supported project, operating as part of Assemble. Their work is designed to improve the wellbeing and happiness of children and families by developing easily replicable, high quality, free to access play opportunities within homes, towns and cities. Building child-focused, playable thinking into our urban environments.
The projects are run by a team of dedicated Playworkers, and their aim is to create an environment where families can visit and support their children to play freely with behaviours that are freely chosen, personally directed, and intrinsically motivated.
