The Benefits of Park User Groups – information from the National Federation of Parks and Green Spaces
Friends of Forster Memorial Park, (FoFMP for short!) is a park user group
Formed in November 2016, we’re a local group of volunteers, made-up of park-users, like you.
Our focus:
- to ensure this green space receives the TLC it deserves
- to make it even better
Improvements cost money
In the last four years, we’ve successfully obtained funding from:
- Phoenix Housing Association
- Whitefoot Assembly
- Lewisham Greening Fund
- Co-op Local Community Fund
- Sevenfields Primary Care Network
Spending it wisely
Here are some of the improvements we’ve made:
- An outside classroom for Forest School
- A table tennis table and cricket surface
- Additional seating outside the park cafe
- New nature and wildlife signs throughout the park
