Achievements and performance

Section D

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

As previously stated, we have arranged just the 1 large, high quality community event, which attracted 1500 local residents who enjoyed the park and the entertainment provided.

This, and the opportunity for the public to make use of the park during the pandemic has led to greater public involvement within the park and a sense of greater responsibility for looking after this valuable community resource.

Additionally, the demonstration that we are actively investing and facilitating investment in the park has generated much public interest, and has lead to the redevelopment and refurbishment of the park pond.

We continue to work pro-actively with Wigan Council (The Deal), Greater Manchester Police and our local residents to attempt to respond to their needs and requests.
