Summary
ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
Party in the Park
during the year In recent years the Committee
have organised
a large event during the
summer
known as 'Party
in the Park.
' This was originally
organised
to
celebrate the Queen's
Diamond
Jubilee
in 2012 but was so popular
and
successful
that it was repeated
every year.
Unfortunately,
in financial years 20/21 and 21/22, due to the Covid
Pandemic we could not hold the event.
However,
in this financial year 'Party
in the Park' was held again and over
2750 people attended
a spectacular
event helping to raise funds.
The
local community
including
several businesses
within the locality were
involved
in making this event another success.
The funds raised have enabled the installation
ofrubberised
safety
surfacing
under several pieces of play equipment,
a new replacement
see-saw, an inclusive, disabled-access
spinner
roundabout
and also to
carry out a variety of important
maintenance
and horticultural
tasks at
the
recreation
ground.
Gift a Tree Scheme
Some years ago, the Committee
established
the above scheme whereby
members
ofthe local community
can donate a tree to either celebrate
an
event or remember
a loved one. This service was established
to improve
the amenity
and appearance
ofthe landscape
at the Recreation
Ground
and has been an ongoing
activity.
It has proved to be very successful
and
to date over 200 specimen trees have been planted
under the scheme.
In order to monitor the development
ofthe landscape,
the 'Gift a Tree'
scheme was suspended
in the year ended 28 February 2019.
Grounds
Maintenance
Our ongoing
programme
ofwork has continued
successfully
this year
to
ensure that the site remains
an attractive
facility for local children
and
families to enjoy.
Website
The Charity's
website provides
comprehensive
information
about the
history ofthe recreation ground's
development
and the range ofcurrent
facilities. Italso provides
information
about how the Trustees manage
the
charity. The address ofthe website is www. larga.co.uk
Volunteer Gardener Scheme
The above scheme
initially
involved
volunteers
from the Management
Committee
but has extended to include other members
ofthe local
community.
The work undertaken
by volunteer
gardeners
has enabled
the committee
to improve even further the appearance
ofthe recreation
ground
and therefore the enjoyment
of visitors to the site. The volunteers
meet regularly
to plan new projects that have included
planting
thousands
of native wildtlowers
and bulbs, extending
