A huge amount of work continued to renew the Park with the playground railings and two arch ways painted in warm and inviting colours. The sports activities were hugely successful with large numbers of young people participating with the Friday night football and an increased number of adults participating in the walking football. It’s been a great year and all of our pre covid grants have now been delivered and we face 2023 in a very strong position. ## **Paul Galley Chair of the Friends Group 19/12/20** ## **Summary of activity** Our biggest capital project of the financial year was the installation of our new wheelchair friendly roundabout. This was supported by our volunteers painting the railings around the playground in bright inviting colours, creating a bright and warm play place. Work was also undertaken by our volunteers to paint two archway at our East Pines and Luton Road entrances, these were done in silver and black to reflect the traditional painting scheme of our railings. A big highlight of the year was the return of the Green Team, a wonderful part of our volunteer team who haven’t been with us since March 17th 2020. They made an instant contribution with work on the football pitch being delivered to the highest of standards. This resulted in our successful delivery of our two sports programmes, the free football programme for our young people and our free walking football programme. Both were highly attended and funding is now being sought to continue programmes. Our litter pickers also worked hard to keep the areas inside and outside the Park tidy. Our volunteer gardening teams worked hard to suppress weed growth and build the platform for us to start re planting key areas of the Park with flowers. Another highlight was the continued growth of the cafe, a most welcome base for our community and our volunteers. As part of a plan to support the cafe, the Friends printed and distributed 3000 leaflets inviting the public to use the library and the cafe. ## **Values** Our Park values of inclusivity and openness continue to deliver a great Park appreciated by all that visit and enjoy the Park. to be hugely appreciated by many Park users who ## **Future** As a charity and a Park we enter the new financial year in a strong and robust position. Our accounts are in a healthy position with ear marked reserves committed to delivering the following projects: - Football Coaching for young people - Walking Football - New plants for the Park gardens - 2 springers to complete the toddlers playground. - Maintenance of gardens - Growth of the Cafe
