Friends of Stechford Hall Park aim to bring people together from across the local community, helping more residents feel supported to spend time in the park and share this valued open space.

Through a range of nature-based activities, the group hopes to encourage people to connect with each other and with nature in new and inspiring ways.

The project will focus on improving a space that holds great meaning for the community. Planned improvements will make the park more accessible, appealing, safe, and welcoming, while supporting a wider variety of plants and wildlife. These changes will encourage greater use of the park, particularly among those who may have found it difficult to access in the past.

Friends of Stechford Hall Park also aim to support residents affected by the cost of living crises. The area around the park experiences high levels of deprivation, and many local people continue to face financial hardship. By investing in the park and creating opportunities for free, positive activities, the project will help improve quality of life for local residents. In time, the community orchard will also provide a valuable source of fresh food for everyone to enjoy.
