Volunteers helping to improve and maintain Burley Park say a recent event has helped raise more than £1,000 towards future projects.
The Friends of Burley Park held a community event celebrating Burley Park’s 125th anniversary at the weekend – and have thanked attendees for their support.
A spokesperson for the group said: “Thank you so much to everyone who came along, we think over 250 people joined the celebrations throughout the afternoon.
“We are immensely grateful for everyone’s generosity too, we have raised over £1,000 towards future projects in the park; our fundraiser is still open and if you were planning to contribute, please head over to our GoFundMe page.
“If you would like to be more involved do come along to our regular volunteering sessions, our next one will be on Sunday, 12 October, 10am-12pm.”
The Friends are also holding an Extraordinary General Meeting at the park bandstand on 22 September at 6pm.
The meeting follows discussions with HMRC to help the Friends register for Gift Aid and to receive electronic donations at events. Two minor changes are required to the group’s constitution.
