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.
