TUNSTALL VICTORIA PARK TRUST

We have run events in the summer and winter in the park to encourage local residents to make use of the park and to raise funds for the park. The funds have been spent on events and on planting for the park as well as putting towards restoration of the main gates and further play equipment for the park
Analysis by Giving is Great
