The Friends of Staunton Country Park are partners with the park management and others in delivering events, projects and improvements to the site. Here are some of the ideas we are helping with:

Fundraising 

We are raising money to continue the improvements recently carried out using Heritage Lottery funds. Our goals include improving the footpaths around the lake and repairing the turret clock in the Coach House.

History

Many of the Friends are interested in the history and archaeology of the park, and have contributed to small-scale exhibitions about particular moments. 

 

Recycling

We recently worked with the Right to Work group and Veolia to set up a facility in the Story Garden to recycle organic material from the growing beds.

Calendar Competition

We are working with the Community Liaison office to hold a photography competition to create a beautiful park calendar for next year. Check out our Facebook page to see how some of our members have captured the views on site.
