The Charity was set up by Mr John Lurkins, who purchased the land known as Chedgrave Carr from a local land owner, and John also made the main financial contribution to get things started.
The purpose of the the Charity is to provide a green open space that can be accessed by the local community to enjoy the wildlife , flora and fauna already established in the Carr, and John being disabled himself was keen to establish a fishing platform on the river Chet that can be used by disabled people.
All the trustees are volunteers and we meet every 6/7 weeks, agendas and minutes are recorded.
Unfortunately John was taken seriously ill towards the end of June and tragically he passed away on the 9th July
It took a long time to get the bank arrangements changed and the end result was that very little happened by the end of 2023.
