Play Rangers to help Watford kids
A team of specially trained Play Rangers will soon be helping kids across Watford to get the most of play in their surrounding parks and open spaces with a £200,000 Big Lottery Fund grant.
The three-year award from Big's Children’s Play programme means that kids will be able to take part in a range of supervised imaginative play activities, while giving parent’s peace of mind that their children are safe.
Sara Betsworth, Big Lottery Fund head of region for the East of England, said: “This is terrific news for children and parents across Watford. Many parents worry about their children playing outdoors, the Watford Play Rangers team will ensure kids across the borough get all the benefits from outdoor play, while staying safe and most of all having fun.”
The Play Rangers will work with children’s centres across the borough throughout the year. Children themselves will be encouraged to develop themes for the play sessions giving them the freedom to choose what type of play they want to take part in.
