This year’s Annual Open Meeting will be our last. That’s because we’re changing…
As of 14th September 2025, The Playwork Foundation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) based on the Association Model.
What does that mean?
And why have we done it?
One change is that, from next year (2026), we will now host an Annual General Meeting (AGM) – just like other charities – which will formally replace the Annual Open Meetings we’ve hosted in recent years.
We’ll walk through the rest of the changes tomorrow, and explore what this means for playworkers in the wild. But in the meantime, Trustees Simon Rix and Penny Wilson have created this infographic to help explain the essentials:
🗓 What else can you expect at tomorrow’s meeting?
- Updates from the National Play Organisations
- A look at what we’ve been doing
- A preview of what’s coming next
- And most importantly – how you can help shape the future of The Playwork Foundation and playwork across these islands
