Promoting the
Child's Right to Play since 1973 in the UK and Worldwide according to the
Convention on the Rights of the Child
There are ways you can help Fair Play for Children
.... even from the comfort of your own Home!
We're not looking for huge amounts of time with a lot of our work, we want to encourage people to give of the time and skills they have.
At present we have no staff at all, every thing you see is done by volunteers, including the National Secretary, all the management committee. Read the opportunities below .... and don't be shy to suggest ways you think you could help!
We've set up a short online questionnaire which you are asked to complete and return. We will then get back in touch with you to discuss your kind offer of help.
Add PlayAction Stories to our daily news service
-
time needed .... about 15 minutes daily.
This is a unique service, nothing else like it anywhere. Stories about childhood, play, rights, child labour etc from around the world. Problem - we have a backlog of stories, we need daily help. You will need a computer with an internet connection, that's all. We will tell you how to access our story upload and how to do it, also a weekly supply of links to stories (25-30) and ask you to upload 5 a day. Once you've got the hang of it, we think that would ake 15 minutes a day, any time day or night! It's so simple yet it will increase our coverage hugely if we have some extra bods!
Fair Play Twitterist!
Again just a few minutes a day, making sure our stories and issues get onto Twitter.
Fair Play News Gatherer
We want stories from local media about Play, about childcare, about adults not considering children etc. This is 'as and when' it means scouring the net for your local area press and sending us links.
Fair Play Promoter
Someone who will get out there and recruit people and groups to Fair Play for Children, even organise a local Group around our work. Briefing will be given, materials supplied etc.
Fair Play Network Coordinator
This requires some knowledge of children's play, a willingness to travel to meet local play and childcare groups, and to encourage sharing of knowledge, skills, ideas and issues. We will cover travel expenses, phone costs etc. It can be someone working from home or an organisation can volunteer to take on this role - the area covered by a Coordinator will depend on them. We would hope that each one would organise at least one network event each year to attract local groups - we will help with speakers etc, and cost of venue hire. CRB check will be sought as work will bring you into contact with children.
Become a Member
of our Management Committee
Much of this is done by telephone conference. It is about ensuring we are properly run, have clear policies and plans. Committee members become trustees of our charitable trust. Travel expenses paid. CRB check will be sought in line with Charity Commission guidance.
