Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Brooksbury Recreation Ground is a fabulous space set within the beautiful Shropshire Hills in Church Stretton.
The recreation ground hosts a children's play area as well as football pitches, allowing young people to enjoy the outdoors and play. Unfortunately the old play equipment was of wooden construction and didn't weather very well in our own micro-climate. Resulting in the equipment having to be removed for safety reasons.
The Council launched a consultation of the local people to see what they would like to see and the result was a fantastic design of metal play equipment created by Wicksteed Leisure. The design includes play for all ages and all abilities, where no one person will feel excluded. But we need to raise funds!
The total cost of the design is £110,000, split into two phases. Phase 1 costing £55,000, is now complete and young people are having fun, enjoying their new space. However, Phase 2 has no current earmarked funding, and we are trying many different avenues to help us raise these funds.
Grant applications have been applied for, and the outcome is awaited; we have fundraising pots within the Town; we're also offering businesses the opportunity to sponsor equipment; but could you help? No matter what you could give, big or small, will help us in our aim to create an amazing space for everyone. Thank you.
