In 2019 we knocked on doors, talked to people at events and asked visitors, parents and children involved in our holiday play scheme what they would like to see in the Community Garden.
Swings have been the one top thing that kept on being mentioned over and over again – so we are fundraising to make it happen.
Help us make a difference to the local community, get involved in our fundraising activities and donate to help us create a new playground.
