Thinking of becoming a member?

Play Association Hammersmith and Fulham is a Membership organisation. This means that any agency that works with children or young people in Hammersmith and Fulham can become a member. Becoming a member is free and easy! Simply fill in our membership form. We work to support our members by providing free resources and opportunities for them to improve the quality of their provision. We also provide support and advice on all aspects of play provision, such as funding, governance, staffing etc. We seek to ensure Hammersmith and Fulham has a large range of quality play provisions for children and young people to access, by representing our members and play at borough partnerships and seeking further resources to be allocated to play.

Membership is also open to individuals and young people. If you are not currently employed by an organisation but have an interest in play (i.e. you could be a play worker or committee member, or parent) you can still join as there will be lots of useful opportunities for you. Furthermore we are looking to develop our membership for young people, you will recieve regular information about play projects in your area.
