Friends Groups
Friends of Parks
Many of Liverpool's parks have "Friends" groups, who actively contribute to their management and upkeep. If you are interested in finding out more about the activites of park "Friends" groups please call 0151 233 3001 or email them at lpff@liverpool.gov.uk
Liverpool Parks Friends Forum
LPFF was set up in 2006 by 33 Liverpool Parks Friends groups in collaboration with Liverpool City Council. It aims to provide an umbrella organisation to link different Friends groups and empower them to raise their own funding, link with City Council policies and raise the profile of the community-led Parks Agenda.
Over the past two years the Forum has developed a constitution and a board representing the six neighbourhoods of the city. It has participated in different events (including the acclaimed Green Flag Ceremony 2008 at the BT Convention Centre and the Big History Show at St George's Hall). The group is seeking funding to encourage new users of parks and to develop activities in Liverpool parks.
You can download examples of their newsletters here:
