"We do not stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing."

(George Bernard Shaw)

Interplay provides access to play, leisure and social opportunities for children and young people with additional needs aged 4-25 who find it difficult to access the same mainstream play, leisure and social activities as their peers.

We work with children at all levels from profound and multiple disability, learning disabilities, physical impairments, sensory impairments, autism, adhd and challenging behaviour - our main criteria is that without additional support these young people would not be able to gain access to play and leisure opportunities.

We run weekly term time play provision, youth clubs, summer schemes and residentials. Interplay aims to ensure that the standard of play and leisure provision is exemplary, particularly in projects or activities that are organised by Interplay.

Vision

All children and young people with additional supports needs including those due to disability and neurodiversity, have access to quality play, leisure and social activities that are inclusive and fun.
