What the charity does
We raise funds for Park infrastructure such as lighting, exercise equipment, seating and table tennis tables. We also raise funds for planting and horticultural restoration. Our members help with park maintenance and conduct regular litter picking. We are currently campaigning to raise funds for installing heritage information signs and for upgrading the Sandford Park playground.
