What Happened?
On a vibrant Wednesday in Heath Park, Cardiff, a city proud to be the UK’s first UNICEF child-friendly city, celebrated its annual Play Day. Hundreds of children enjoyed activities like t-shirt printing, a silent disco, a safari-themed treasure hunt, and the unique creation of a cardboard city. Child Friendly Cardiff enhanced the festivities by distributing free, branded raincoats, ensuring that play continued rain or shine.
