• Provide a forum for debate where stakeholders can raise issues and concerns on matters affecting children and young people’s play.
• Provide the opportunity to develop partnership working, disseminate information and gain knowledge at grass roots level, providing a sounding board for change and innovation.
• Enable the sharing of ideas, information and good practice in play.
• Advocate for the voluntary sector informing and influencing policy opinion and decision makers.
