Playcart Scheme Builds Welcoming, Connected Communities Locally

Leeds folks can make their neighborhoods more fun. They can use the Playcart initiative from Playful Anywhere. A Playcart is like a mobile fun station. It holds creative stuff to help people connect.

Playful Anywhere is based in Pudsey. They want public spaces to be more playful. They now have three Playcarts for people to borrow. This is part of a program. It helps people make their streets better.

They want more welcoming and fun spaces for all. Emma Bearman founded Playful Anywhere. She thinks play is for everyone, not just kids. Play makes places friendlier and more connected.

Playcarts offer a simple way to make spaces happy. They help neighbors talk to each other more. The carts let people create and gather.

During March, people nearby can borrow a Playcart. They can use it to bring people together with play. Think sidewalk chalk or giant bubbles.

Canal Connections hosts a Playcart event near the Royal Armouries. Marie Millward wants residents to come. She wants their area to be more kid-friendly. She also wants city residents to join them.

They hope to see Climate Innovation District people too. Play is a powerful way to unite the community. To borrow a Playcart, contact Playful Anywhere. Their email is team@playfulanywhere.fun. You can also visit www.playfulanywhere.fun.
