Let them Play
Free child-directed play for all ages.
​Outdoors with Loose Parts, messy play, crafts, woodwork and more.
Make-Do Play CIC exists to provide children and their families with unstructured free play, for free. Today’s children face many barriers to play including lack of safe green spaces, an increasingly risk averse society and an over-emphasis on formal extra-curricular activities.
We follow a playwork approach, creating spaces where children are given the agency to play however they wish. Where there is no right or wrong way to play, where no play is too loud or too boisterous or too messy. Play is not a tool to achieve adult determined learning goals, it belongs to children, who play in their own ways for their own reasons.
We deliver regular family play sessions and after school clubs in community gardens across London, as well as providing free play at community festivals and events.
