Friends of the Park
In the past, local people may have thought their local park or open space could do with some extra support and they haven't known how to help. Now, setting up a group can give all members of the community the chance to work with the council to develop their local park or open space in line with the needs of that community.
If you are interested in starting a 'Friends of the Park' group then we have put togther a small start up pack. The pack explains the basic stages of starting a group, organsing your first AGM, sources of funding which may be of use in reaching your groups aims and objectives, a list of useful contacts and a few suggestions for activities that you could run in your park.
