Every child has the right to play — but not all children have the same access to safe, inclusive, welcoming spaces.

This #Playday2025, we’re backing the call for better spaces for play.

Let’s build communities where play is expected, protected, and respected — every day.

As Disability Pride Month comes to a close, we’re reflecting on the power of lived experience to shape better, fairer services.

Disability isn’t something to be hidden or fixed — it’s part of who people are. Pride means visibility, voice, and value.
