How IKEA Foundation supports the right to play
IKEA Foundation puts every child’s right to play at the heart of its Good Cause campaign, Let’s Play for Change. November 20 is Universal Children’s Day. See how partnering with six leading organisations is making a difference worldwide.
Our mission
‘For various reasons, not all children are enjoying their right to play. We want to change that,’ says Chris Williams, IKEA Foundation communications manager. ‘With help from our partners we want to create safe environments for them to fulfil their right.’ This includes supporting some of the world’s poorest communities by funding holistic, long-term programmes.
