Another week! Another Update!
Kerb Appeal continue to assist with the play space upgrade program and Streetscape are now on site starting the preparation work for new play features.

It’s all go!!

The seven newly planted trees are doing well. The watering can could maybe do with a few extra hands 😊

There are also limited numbers of germinated acorns from “Geoffs Tree” available at £5 each. We know how much Geoffs Tree was loved and now you can have your own AND play a part in positively supporting the playground development.

The ongoing improvement work continues at pace.

recent updates include a new evergreen hedge along the Northern boundary, new trees planted on the Southern boundary and the base of a new seating area has been laid next to the building meaning the various picnic tables can be moved out the way, allowing the kids more space to run around.

More to follow

If youre interested in whats happening, why not get involved 🙂

The newly planted trees will need regular watering!! Why not join the rota and help out the volunteer management team.

Please join us for the annual fund-raising Wise Owl Quiz at Monk Fryston and Hillam Community Centre on Saturday 14th March.

The price includes a Chili Con Carne supper (vegetarian option is available) and there is a pay bar and raffle to keep everyone entertained.

Last year we raised over £1,000 for the Community Association so it's a great way to have fun but also support us !
