BLX proudly supports Haringey Play Association, a charity that champions every child’s right to play and thrive. Their work is more than recreation—it’s about building confidence, resilience, and community through free, inclusive spaces where young people can explore, create, and grow.
Haringey Play Association (HarPA) is rooted in the belief that play is a biological need and a fundamental right, enshrined in Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. At their Somerford Grove Adventure Playground, children and young people are given the freedom to follow their own ideas, test boundaries, and make decisions without unnecessary adult interference. This isn’t just fun—it’s a vital foundation for social development, creativity, and emotional wellbeing.
What makes HarPA especially impactful is its commitment to accessibility and diversity. All services are free at the point of use, ensuring that no child is excluded due to financial barriers. From “Stay & Play” sessions for under-5s to youth groups and girls-only projects, the charity tailors its programs to meet the needs of different age groups and communities. They even extend their reach through pop-up play sessions across housing estates, bringing joy and opportunity directly into neighbourhoods that need it most.
The ripple effect of their work is profound:
Confidence & resilience – Children leave sessions with new skills, ideas, and a stronger sense of self.
Community building – Families connect through shared experiences, while young people form friendships across diverse backgrounds.
Practical support – Alongside play, HarPA provides essentials like a food bank on Saturdays, reinforcing their role as a lifeline for local families.
For BLX, supporting Haringey Play Association means standing behind a movement that values creativity, freedom, and inclusivity—the very principles that drive sneaker culture and streetwear mythology. Just as BLX builds campaigns that empower identity and expression, HarPA builds playgrounds that empower children to imagine, experiment, and belong.
In short, Haringey Play Association is not just about play—it’s about shaping futures, protecting rights, and strengthening communities. BLX is proud to align with their mission, amplifying the message that every child deserves space, freedom, and opportunity to grow..
