We are a small community who in recent years have lost our school & pub. We have a village hall which remains our centre of activity as well as our play park which currently is looking sad & run down.
We are raising funds for updated park equipment which will also make our park more inclusive & accessible to all ages in our community.
We understand how outdoor play is vital to the physical, social & emotional development of young people as well as being crucial to health and well-being of all ages.
