Get Involved!
Would you like to be involved in improving and looking after Congleton Park? The Friends of Congleton Park are a voluntary community group established to work in Partnership with Cheshire East Council to help develop and look after the park.
FOCP Volunteer Membership – Who is it aimed at?
Love You Park
Membership is aimed at anyone and everyone who believes that Congleton Park should be cared for and supported as a safe place of enjoyment and activity for the people of Congleton and visitors.
Inclusive
We encourage new members from a wide range of users – cyclists, walkers, dog walkers, families, students, sports enthusiasts, wildlife lovers, café users, park volunteers – and all are welcome.
Active Volunteering
Whether you wish to simply demonstrate your support for what we are doing or, better still, to become involved with active volunteering, you are welcome.
Make New Friends
We are formed of 12 FOCP committee members who meet regularly to drive the focus, plan & objectives for the group.
What does it cost?
There is no cost to join as a volunteer member, your time & energy are invaluable to us. We do rely solely on donations and fund raising in order to achieve our objectives so if you are able to afford a small yearly donation of £10 this is much appreciated but not compulsory.
Donate
FoCP depends entirely on donations and fundraising, all funds go directly back into supporting the park.
If you haven’t got the time but would still like to support FoCP consider making a donation, every penny counts!
