Alice and her neighbour Amy Rose developed the temporary play street model on their own street in 2009. Playing Out grew out of that idea and action, responding to interest from other parents, residents, experts and organisations and growing a UK-wide movement for children’s right to play out. Alice continued to co-lead the organisation with Ingrid Skeels until 2023. Now, as an Associate, she focuses on projects, development, strategy, advocacy, campaigning, public speaking and writing work towards the long-term vision and aims of Playing Out. Alice has a particular interest in the relationship between the built environment, community activism and children’s freedom and has published several research papers.
