Play to Heal runs structured sport and open play for refugee children, from soccer to team games. On the field, children rebuild trust, learn teamwork and simply run, laugh and be kids. Every child gets the gear they need to join in.
What happens in Play to Heal
Coaches and volunteers lead regular sessions built around inclusion: every child plays, whatever their skill or language. Sport gives children a shared language long before they have the words, and a team gives them a place to belong.
Who it helps
Refugee children of all ages and abilities. No experience needed.
