Welcome to the official
website of DG Play, a play forum managed by The Bridge Dumfries & Galloway, a voluntary sector support organisation
and Scottish Charity.
Our remit is to enable play providers
and partners to work together to support the development of quality play and free play provision for children, young people,
families and communities in Dumfries and Galloway.
We aim to:
- Raise the profile of play in
Dumfries and Galloway
- Work with
DG Play members to support the development of new and existing free play opportunities
- Liaise with appropriate partners and statutory agencies to promote
free play opportunities
- Arrange
and facilitate DG Play meetings and activities, including development of good practice guides
Why is this project important?
Play is how children learn about
the world, themselves and each other. What adults often dismiss as ‘just play’ - tree climbing, den building,
hide-and-seek and make-believe - is an important part of children's development.
