More about our impact
The environment
We have everything in place to make a big impact over the coming years. We'll be planting wildflowers in the space put aside as community allotments space in the first instance so this coming summer will really count for bee populations and to maintain FPP as an oasis of natural beauty.
The local economy
With the closure of Fenham Swimming Pool, there is less to attract customers to the library and local shops. The park and the events that will be held there will increase footfall, especially in the summer months.
Volunteering, jobs & education
We will be engaging with the community to organise events and use the space exactly how the local residents want it to be used.
Arts, culture & heritage
We have exciting ideas for expanding the range of events and uses of the park. Circus workshop anyone? Perhaps a choir concert!
Activity, health and leisure
Getting out and about in a garden to meet with family or friends (when we can) provides a healthy diversion (mentally and physically). The community allotments space will build on that - we intend for this to be convenient for everyone including those using a wheelchair.
