During this year, the Friends of Leyland Park have planned and delivered 1 major community event in the park, attracting in excess of 2000 residents in total.
The event, Party in the Park, attracted a larger attendance this year, benefitting more members of the community together and introducing then to the benefits of Leyland Park. The event was a welcome release for members of our community following the issues around Covid-19 and associated restrictions and lockdowns.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
Work continues with the regeneration of the pond in the centre of the park with initial works to remove trees, and re-landscape the pond ,creating an island having been completed, and works to plant-up the area, to encourage wildlife had started. We are working with the Council and Lancashire Wildlife Trust to provide a wildlife haven and hope to have the project completed within the next 12 / 24 months. We continue to deliver high quality community events within the park, in response to the needs and demands of park users and the wider community, and by responding to these requests, we are demonstrating benefit to the public in general.
Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)
We have held a 2 park clear up / planting days which attracted numerous community members as volunteers, however these activities were seriously curtailed due to Covid. We conservatively calculate that over 1500 volunteer hours have been committed this year.

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 2000 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.
