85 Years of Playcentre
On 24th April – the date of the very first Playcentre session, 85 years ago – we launch something we’ve been quietly building for some time: our first national fundraising campaign, and the opening act of Five Acts of Play.
A year-long celebration of what makes Playcentre unlike anything else in Aotearoa.
And this is where you come in. Every share, every conversation, every time you tell someone what Playcentre means to you – that’s the campaign in motion. Playcentre has always grown through its people, and it will be your voices that help carry this forward.
Keep an eye on our social channels. Act One is almost here…
