Project Play supports children in the informal settlements of Calais and Dunkirk, where around 900 people live following the dismantling of the 'Calais Jungle.' They offer structured play sessions that help children cope with trauma, build a sense of identity and self-worth, and develop essential life skills.
I was there on assignment for a fundraising campaign focused on back-to-school efforts, working in the Project Play warehouse and visiting the field in Dunkirk.
