Have your Say: Opportunities for Play in Powys
Do you live in Powys and are you the parent, grandparent or carer of children/young people?
Is so, please could you take a couple of minutes to complete this short online survey? (It only takes 2 minutes to complete.) Its part of work that PAVO is doing with Powys County Council to assess the sufficiency of play provision in Powys and your input as a parent, grandparent or carer would be greatly appreciated.
The survey is anonymous and the information gathered will help in mapping the experience of Powys' children and young people as regards the opportunities they have for play and recreation, as well as helping inform future planning decisions about how this provision can be improved.

The survey is also for children and young people themselves, as well as parents, grandparents and carers, so please feel free to forward this message and the survey links to anyone you may feel would have an interest in it.
If you have any queries please feel free to contact PAVO on 01597 822191 or info@pavo.org.uk
