Contribute to your community by becoming a Trustee at BAPP; Bringing Play to Life
Who we are
BAPP is a local voluntary organisation and Registered Charity. We promote and facilitate opportunities for children and young people to play and participate in positive activities. We promote the importance of self-directed play for child development and the rights of children, supporting families to better understand this. BAPP offers play opportunities to children and young people living in B&NES through after school sessions, family playdays, holiday clubs and Saturday clubs.
Our vision: Every child has the right to Play
Every Child has the Right to Play and we recognise the powerful impact and value that play has for children experiencing adverse experiences, using a therapeutic, trauma informed playful approach to supporting children to develop resilience. We recognise the importance of self-directed play for children’s development and facilitate a range of play based opportunities, often outdoors that support and enrich children’s wellbeing. As a child-centred organisation with a strong inclusive ethos, our staff advocate for, listen and respond to children’s voices embedding these principles using the power of play as a catalyst for positive change.
