Fundraising for Coggeshall's
Big Park Project
About us
We are an independent fundraising group, separate to the Parish Council, set up with the aim to raise money for Coggeshall's Big Park Project, an ambitious project to raise £150k for the complete renovation of the playground on East Street Recreation Ground.
Coggeshall Parish Council has earmarked £34,000 for the project and will be focusing on grants to raise the bulk of the money. However, community support is needed to show those grantholders that this project has the support of the community.
This group will hold events and take direct donations online to support the Parish Council as these are activities they are unable to do. All the money raised by this group will be go directly to the Big Park Project.
Get involved
We are a small group made up mostly of parents living in Coggeshall. Some of us have been involved in the Big Park Project for a few years, and some are new to this. All of us understand how important the project is for the children in Coggeshall but also to the community itself. It will bring more people to our lovely area, which in turn can support local businesses.
If you want to get involved then send us a message. Whatever you can do to help would be much appreciated, whether it is simply helping post leaflets advertising events or actually supporting us in running an event.
Take a look at our online shop
Earlier this year our main focus on fundraising in the community was through events but COVID obviously put a pause on those plans. So we had to pivot! We decided to create an online shop with a limited range of printed items including mugs, bags and prints. They’ve been so successful and we are going to keep adding to our shop throughout the coming months.
Take a look at what we have and maybe you can even do some of your Christmas shopping on our website! Local items for a local cause – perfect.
