Thank you
Many thanks to the following organisations who we have been fortunate to work with. They have provided funding for activities or purchases that have been used to enhance the park, or have run activities for the benefit of our local community.
We are working with a group of Year 8 and Year 9 pupils from Holly Lodge. Welcome on board! Thank you for joining us.
Holiday Activities and Food Programme
Playmac, a Liverpool Charity, and HAF have provided funding and resources for our local children to ensure that they eat healthily over the school holidays and that they are able to take part in engaging and enriching activities.
The Veolia
The Veolia provided us with funding towards our amazing seesaw, the only one of its kind in Liverpool.
YES Coaching in our park is run by Chelsea and Stu. They are experienced at working with young people from varied backgrounds and abilities in a diverse range of environments and sectors. They have spent many evenings in the park getting to know the local youths tackling issues like anti-social behaviour, looking after our park and healthy eating to name a few topics.

Thank you to everyone who shops at the Co-op, who chose us as their local cause. We were lucky enough to be awarded £1,458.22 which will be used towards new playground equipment. We are aiming to replace the old tired equipment piece by piece. Thank you to Karen Maw and team at the Co-op who presented us with
a cheque.
