02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

We help maintain the local playpark by checking in regularly to ensure it is litter free and the equipment is safe for all to use. We report any damages to the local authority. We meet to discuss how to improve our park and have raised money for the upkeep of the park. We are looking into removing an old toilet block and replacing it with new equipment. Further advice from a local community rep is being sought regarding this.
