Meet the team leaders running Leyland week
Six volunteers, more than eighty years of playscheme between them, on why they keep coming back.
Every group at playscheme is led by an experienced team leader — someone who has done the week before, knows the site, and makes sure no volunteer is ever on their own. We asked six of them what keeps bringing them back.
