Community play fund to support the development of play experiences for children

Community groups, schools, parents, and caregivers across the UK can apply for grants of £500 to £5,000 per new project from the Community Play Fund, which was introduced by ChangeX and the LEGO Foundation to support the development of playful experiences for children in communities across the UK.

The Community Play Fund was introduced by ChangeX and the LEGO Foundation to support the development of playful experiences for children in communities across the UK.

The Community Play Fund can be used to support a variety of projects that promote play, such as:

  • Building new playgrounds
  • Creating after-school play programmes
  • Providing training for play leaders
  • Developing new play resources

To apply, applicants choose one of the projects on the ChangeX website, based on their community’s needs. Individuals are eligible to apply but need to be part of a team. Once the applicant has demonstrated their commitment and ability to start the community project by successfully completing a 30 Day Challenge, ChangeX will provide funding, information guides and support to give the applicant the best chance of success.
