02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

Our charity is set up by local volunteers to help protect, maintain, improve, and raise awareness of Burghlee Park, a public park outside Edinburgh. We do this by publicising the park through our Facebook page and working with youth groups who use the park for youth activities. In the past, we have collaborated with the council to help maintain the park.
