Islington Play Association has been fighting for children’s rights for well over 50 years. The organisation has always stayed close to its community activist roots, working closely with parents, carers and community members who want to ensure that the best possible environment is created for children and young people specifically here in this highly over crowded, over built urban area.
Play is something everyone has done and everyone can do, it is the most inclusive activity that exists from the very youngest to the very oldest humans. IPA’s approach is to empower and support young people to develop resilience and independence through assessing risks, being adventurous, trying things out and to aspire to fulfil their potential now and in the future. IPA listens and adapts our services to the individual needs of the people we work with. In this way we can support the social and personal development of young people through informal education.
