02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

Victoria Park Community Trust (VPCT) is an umbrella organisation made up of Member Groups which have a vested interest in the park including The five local Community Councils, Friends of Victoria Park , The Fossil Grove Trust, Glasgow Eco Trust, The Butterfly Conservation Trust, Sunny Cycles and 2 Parkruns. It is tasked with coordinating and developing the aspirations for the park raised by the member groups and the local community. The Trust has signed a Participation Agreement with GCC to collaborate with them on the development and maintenance of the park. VPCT has developed an Action Plan setting out a vision of what might be achieved over the coming years to introduce new uses into those areas of the park which have fallen into disrepair (former blaes pitches, bowling greens and putting greens) as well as new ideas to meet the demands of the twenty-first century visitor.
