Play Place Innov8 CIC is a constituted community interest company who provide a range of educational and fun activities for children, young people and communities. At Play Place we believe that 'Everyone Counts' and we work with residents and local partners to deliver tailor made activities.

Our published constitution includes:

• Working with children, young people and adults
• Community development and participation
• Specialist services to vulnerable young people

We provide activities in Croydon, Bromley, Dartford, London and Sevenoaks. Our projects reach some of the most disadvantaged communities, often providing support where nothing has existed before and where our input may has a significant impact. Our values include supporting an Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) approach and we develop services that get communities working together.

The YES Project is focused on supporting young people aged 16-24 who have been outside employment, education or training. We particularly focus on the so-called ‘hidden NEETS’ - those who are not claiming work related benefits and are not accessing statutory support.

Play Place is working in the Croydon Borough to support to develop young peoples's skills in their area of interest to either get back into Education or find employment. Each Young person will have access to a mentor who will meet with them to identify what they would like to do, then set achievable goals to work towards whilst on the programme.
