The Friends of Brushfield Park is a group of local friends and neighbours who decided to join together to raise funds to breathe new life into much-loved Brushfield Park.

A group spokesperson said: “With a £5,000 target achieved and a community which continues to surprise us with their hard work and generosity, it has encouraged us to keep going and raise funds towards a phase two by giving residents the opportunity to benefit from the green space with benches and flower gardens in the future.

“We have big dreams but we also have a great team which has gained confidence to come out and help – but the best part is the new friendships made.”
