What the petition asks

Provide additional funding to help business provide play provisions safely in the wake of the Covid-19 Crisis.
Save soft play centers, trampoline parks, music and movement classes, early years dance, gymnastics and help us let our children play safely in a covid safe environment.
Children's play services are an integral part of children's development physical, emotional and social.
We are struggling to cover our overheads after 4 months of closure and we will have limited numbers upon return of our services being available. In order to survive and operate safely we need guidance, help and additional funding.
The British Associate of Leisure parks and Piers predicts without extra support up to 60% of indoor play centers will close by October with no additional support.
