Healthy Families NZ release National Play Impact Report

How Healthy Families NZ are enabling community connections and changing attitudes around the importance and value of play.

Healthy Families NZ are proud to release our national Play Impact Report.

Healthy Families NZ are taking a systems level approach to maximise the opportunity for play. We are committed to working with communities to firstly understand what the barriers to play are and to find ways to create local solutions that enable play and physical activity.

Our Play Impact Report shines a light on how our Healthy Families NZ locations are bringing back play by enabling community connections, changing attitudes around the importance and value of play, and working with decision makers, stakeholders, and leaders to ensure the importance of play is recognised and adhered to at all levels.

We welcome the opportunity to share this Play Impact Report with you to share our learnings, insights and collective impact to reduce the barriers to play across Aotearoa.
