What is a friends group?

The friends group is a collection of people who:

  • value their local parks and open spaces
  • want to enhance their local parks to meet the needs of the local community
  • provide link between the council and residents
  • share their views and ideas about the future of the park

What can friends groups do?

  • discuss views and concerns about the park
  • raise issues about maintenance or improvements 
  • produce leaflets, newsletters or a history of the park
  • set up a website or social media page about your park and the friends' activities
  • organise events such as bulb and tree planting, clear-up days or picnics
  • apply for grants for some of the things above
