Children are playing less than ever, especially in spontaneous ways with their peers. Together, let’s figure out how can we bring back free play for their joy and wellbeing.

Play Drive is a campaign to promote the importance of free play as a source of joy and wellbeing for our children.
Play Drive’s Founder, Lukasz, was raised by a single mother in an apartment block in Poland during the 80s. Despite not having siblings he never felt lonely.
