Playbuilder Funding

Gateshead Council has been awarded Capital Funding in the region of £1 million to develop public play areas over the next 3 years. This will include building entirely new sites if it emerges as a key need identified by the local community or redeveloping an existing playarea to meet the children and young people's developmental needs. We hope to encourage and support community and voluntary groups to submit bids to deliver and run local play projects.

Applications are welcomed from organisations interested in developing new playareas in Gateshead. Organisations are invited to look through the application form and supporting documents before they submit a bid. Completed application forms must be returned no later than 5th December 2008 to:

Philippa Jeffery
Play Project Manager
Play Development Service
Children and Young People's Service
Civic Centre
Regent Street
Gateshead
NE8 1HH
