Story
The young people of our community need a safe space to play and socialise. After much research and consultation with Singleton School, young people and the parishioners, we have designed an exciting playground project to provide new play equipment for older children and replace and update existing equipment for our younger children. The project is split into 3 phases. The project is split into 3 phases.
Phase 1 – Sports Wall to include a football goal, basketball structure plus bounce area, two sets of swings, one with two flat swings and a basket swing and one with two cradle swings
Phase 2 – A track around three sides of the field for bikes, go karts, scooters etc. plus three picnic benches
Phase 3 - New Zip Wire, Roundabout and other equipment.
We are making great progress and have already raised enough funds for phase 1. We have raised money from a combination of lottery fund, county council grants, businesses and private donors and phase 1 work starts shortly.
We now need community help to raise £10,000 for phase 2.
Every donation helps so if you would like to support this worthy cause please make a donation here. We want to thank you in advance for your support and contribution, with your help we can provide our children with a fantastic environment to thrive and grow in our community.

1 year agoThank you to everyone who has generously donated to Phase 1 of Playground Project. We have installed the two sets of swings, with the larger set now including a basket swing.. The sportswall including football goal, basketball and the picnic benches are all installed. The last piece of this phase is to install the bounce area for the basketball and a base to stand the picnic benches on. Plans for Phase 2 are now being discussed and will include a new Zip Wire.If anyone would still like to donate it would help with further the improvements
