Allen House Grounds

What is a friends group?

The friends group is a collection of people who value their local parks and open spaces. They want to enhance their local parks to meet the needs of the local community. The group is a strong link between the council and residents. It's a way for residents to share their views and ideas about the future of the park. This will help inform the council about local needs.

What can friends groups do?

• discuss views and concerns about the park
• raise issues about maintenance or improvements 
• produce your own leaflets, newsletters or history of the park pamphlet
• set up a website or social media page about your park and the Friends activities
• organise events such as bulb and tree planting, clear-up days or picnics

• apply for grants for some of the things above
