Help our playground to re-open

Can we call on you for your help once again? Unfortunately, lockdown has left the playground overgrown and ground surface uneven. We need your help to raise £15K to fund a long-lasting solution providing a very safe ground for children to play on.

Story

~UPDATE~

We cannot thank you enough for your kind donations! We have now resurfaced and opened the playground and we cannot wait to welcome you back!.

___________________________________

It has been a tough year and without your support we would not have been in a position to reopen, we cannot thank you enough. We are thrilled that the farm is now open again and we would love to be able to open the playground for everyone as well.

We have been able to fund some replacement equipment, but replacing the ground surface is well beyond our means.

To re-open the playground we dearly need your support to finance a new playing surface.

We'd like your help to raise £15K to fund a long-lasting wet pour solution providing a very safe ground for children to play on as it absorbs impact.

Oscars playground was built in memory of Oscar Ashton, a little boy from Wimbledon who passed away in 2012 from an undiagnosed heart defect. Oscar was a frequent visitor to the farm with his family, who helped to raise £10,000 to transform an underused part of the farm into a fun and educational area for children to enjoy.

Complete with farm-themed play equipment, Oscars playground is a vital facility for the local community and we would love to be able to open it up again as soon as possible.

Please donate today to help us reach our goal and re-open our playground in time for summer!
