We are always busy here at IPA with amazing projects, events and sessions taking place all over the borough. To keep informed about our work look no further. Our aim is to continually create exciting places for children to play and to increase their accessibility to those opportunities. Everything we do is designed with the playing child at the heart and we are super proud of our staff, volunteers and partners who make it all happen.
