In this episode, we will be discussing how practitioners can support parents to discover the power of play and encourage play at home. To discuss this we will hear from Evie Keough. Evie is the founder and CEO of Boromi – a play libraries charity. Evie has taught in primary schools from rural Dumfriesshire to central London, where she developed the idea for borrow boxes of toys for home play. She then won the 2017 Teach First Innovation Award and has been growing Boromi ever since. She is passionate about improving opportunities in the early years to improve future life outcomes.
