Have you been in the park recently? You might have noticed some areas are looking a little overgrown. Did you know the park is maintained only by volunteers? The Friends of Doxford Park work hard to maintain the park as best we can but with reduced volunteer availability and machinery that is currently out of action, it can be tricky at times.
We want to not only ask you to bear with us whilst we continue to do the best we can, but also to remind you that we need volunteers to help look after the park. If you can spare an hour a week, or a one-off chunk of time, or you know someone who can, then get in touch! 🤞🏻
Our volunteers can only do so much, and we definitely can't stop things growing (nor would we want to - nature is amazing). No sooner have we done some weeding and it's back again to keep us on our toes. 🫣 So, if you look at the park and see something that needs doing then please shout up, tell us how you can help and we will gladly accept your support. If you can't offer any time at the minute but still want to support us, then please share this post, tag someone who might be able to spare some time, or forward it on to someone who might be interested. We’d be very grateful and it all helps.
Being outdoors, active and contributing to society reaps personal rewards too, so it wouldn't just be the community you are helping, it will do you some good as well 💚. If you think you can help with weeding, grass cutting, maintaining machinery, hedge trimming, or anything else garden related, then get in touch. You don't need to commit to lots of hours, every little helps. Message us, pop into the park office or email [email protected]. We hope to hear from you. 🙂
