Regeneration Project

We began our regeneration programme in 2023 and to date we have raised a whopping £16,000.

This money has been spent on replacing all of the seating in the park with eco-friendly long lasting benches. Rebuilding the BBQ area and replacing the swings and adventure trail!

To finish the restoration of the Green and protect this special place for future generations... We need to raise a further £35,000!

As an open and responsible charitable group we plan to spend the money in five stages.

Replace the Nest Swing (£5,000)

Replace the Play Tower (£15,000)

Replace the Entrance Gate & Fencing (£3,000

Resurfacing the Paths (£9,000)

Installation of Onsite Storage (£3,000)

If vou are able to donate and help us achieve this great outcome for our village please email: cavenhamgreen@gmail.com
