Did you know that 78% of children believe that adults don't think play is important?
We're celebrating the first International Day of Play working with the children @School360_ using Six Bricks and Tricky Towers to design and build. We are delighted to be partnering with @LEGO_Group and @LEGOfoundation bringing the Power of Play to schools.

The UK’s creative industries bring in more revenue than cars, oil and gas... yet the UK government continues to make cuts to arts education and invest heavily in carbon intensive industries. Make sense to you?

Hugely proud of all the fantastic work my colleagues @ImaginationLdn have achieved over the past year. Our new impact report brings it all together brilliantly
“School taught me the basics, the Institute of Imagination taught me to understand the future”.
Exciting news! 🎉
Our new Impact Report is here and we are delighted to share it with you!
Last year, children in underserved and under-represented communities participated 32,000 times in our activities in schools, at home and in their community and 83% increased their creative thinking skills in our iOi STEAM Live workshops.

Israel has killed over 11,500 Palestinian children in Gaza and the West Bank since October 7th, when 36 Israeli children were killed.
It’s impossible to imagine that number. This is what it looks like. A line 5km long.

Demonstrating impact is challenging for most charities, particularly when your USP is intangible. But mainly it's about the experience you provide, the sense of joy felt and the thirst for more. Some might call it 'flow states'... we refer to it as applying your #imagination
For some children our work really is off the scale🌟🚀
Another incredibly successful term of workshops concluded this week. So much more innovation and creativity to come in the new year.

Very very concerned for UK's freedom of press and freedom of speech having just listened to @BBCr4today interview with @grantshapps this morning at 8.14am. I would strongly recommend you listen to this to inform yourself. This is dangerous territory for our democracy
