Isle of Play Money Box Appeal sees Island schools unite

Fri, 22 Nov 2019

Children across the Island have been decorating and donating Money Boxes to a local charity.

Isle of Play launched their Money Box Appeal in September, which involved delivering around 4,000 blank cardboard money boxes to schools for pupils to take home, build and get creative.

The charity has seen overwhelming support and have only a few more schools to collect boxes from before a winning box is chosen - winning their whole school a day of den building/play session at the end of summer term.

Isle of Play began last year with the aim of encouraging children's Right to Play, as set out in the United Nations Convention.

Since then, the charity has seen over 12,500 children play outside in parks, forests, adventure playgrounds and glens.

Isle of Play Co-founder Chris Gregory spoke to Energy FM about what he thinks is key to the charity's success:
