Friends of Jubilee Green Celebrate Successful Grant Application

The Friends of Jubilee Green are delighted to have received a £350 grant from The Wakeham Trust.

The Wakeham Trust provides community grants, with a focus on neighbourhood projects, community arts projects and projects involving community service by young people. Its grant of £350 to the Friends of Jubilee Green will go towards the group’s Enablement Project, engaging the services of local park designer Alison Brown. The sum will be added to funds already received from Bradley Stoke Town Council, and from this year’s community fundraising at the park.

Since its formation in 2009 The Friends of Jubilee Green has successfully engaged the community in a number of events. Following the huge success of the Grand Opening of the Park, the group has held community bulb-planting events, several ‘Fun In The Sun’ activities, themed Easter and Summer treasure hunts in addition to a well-attended First Birthday celebration.

The Friends are now preparing to submit a major Lottery application for the planned Youth Structure at the park.

Chairperson, Michelle Dent, said “We are so excited to have received this grant cheque. Thanks to everyone involved. We are only a small group of volunteers and would love to hear from anyone who is interested in getting involved. We are looking for energetic and enthusiastic people to join our friends group, who are able to provide ideas but more crucially, who can give time to organise and assist in the running of events and fund-raising activities.

“It is an exciting time to join our group. If you are interested in becoming a friend of Jubilee Green then please contact us via our website HERE”
