Isle of Play wins national Playwork Award

Tue, 04 Apr 2023


Isle of Play was chosen ahead of charities across the UK and IOM as the winner of a prestigious award.

The 13th annual Playwork Awards celebrated the great work that’s being done in the playwork sector, and in doing so aimed to promote best practice too.

A new category – the Play & Community Development Award – was introduced this year and that’s the one which Isle of Play won, so the Manx-registered charity can claim to have made history as the first ever winner!

Isle of Play CEO, Chris Gregory, commented: “It's pretty incredible to be recognised for what we are doing here on the Island, and especially when there were so many other great organisations that were shortlisted. We really believe we're building something amazing here and hope we can use the award to continue our upward trajectory.”

The Playwork Awards are judged by an independent panel, and the category won by Isle of Play was sponsored by Play Scotland. As a winner, Isle of Play was presented with a certificate and a trophy which will go on display at the charity’s HQ in Douglas.
