There are a wealth of play equipment grants available from different organisations across the United Kingdom to empower institutions like yours. Explore the possibilities in this useful guide and transform your commercial or school playground into a space for creativity, learning, and fun.

How can Rhino Play Help With Play Equipment Grants?

At Rhino Play, we believe that every child deserves access to safe and stimulating playgrounds. That’s why we’re committed to supporting schools, community groups, and charities across the UK in their search for play equipment grants and funding, ultimately, we want to:

  • Promote physical activity and well-being among children
  • Ensure all schools, no matter their budget constraints can offer a safe, stimulating and fun outdoor playground for students of all ages and abilities
  • Encourage social interaction and inclusivity
  • Enhance learning experiences through play
  • Create fun, engaging play spaces that inspire creativity

Which is why we have partnered with FundEd, one of the leading companies for school fundraising and grant applications. We have also identified several potential grant opportunities, which could benefit schools, parishes and local authorities as well as housing developers and hotels and leisure parks.
