You can volunteer to join a friends group in Sutton to maintain, improve and promote parks and green spaces.
A friends group can help a park by:
- bidding for external funds
- taking part in park improvement activities
- running park projects and events
- keeping a notice board up to date
- reporting damage or incidents in the park
- bringing a park visitor's perspective to discussions on standards and how maintenance work is carried out
