Our Team
Now
Hayley Ashby
Creative Content and Partnerships
Hayley has spent most of her career working at the BBC, primarily producing and editing speech radio programmes but for the past 4 years her role at Wild Rumpus, an outdoor arts and events not-for-profit organisation, spanned both programming and partnerships.
Play is one of the central pillars of Wild Rumpus’ work and Hayley worked with Timberplay for several years as part of a partnership between the two organisations. Together we’ve brought some amazing playscapes to festival settings and curated panel discussions, workshops and talks around all aspects of play.
“I am really excited about continuing to work with the Timberplay team in this new role. There are so many inspiring and important conversations about play happening right now...so many amazing individuals and organisations creating the opportunities for children (and adults!) to play well. We are going to be curating content that reflects some of the discussions, the work, the amazing spaces and projects, as well as creating space and opportunity for discussion and idea sharing around all aspects of play. Watch this space!”
