Award for Broomfield Park Volunteer, Elizabeth Dobbie
Lifetime Award presented by London Borough of Enfield
Congratulations to Friends of Broomfield Park volunteer. Elizabeth Dobbie, who has received a lifetime achievement award from Enfield Council.
The Award, presented by Enfield’s Cabinet Member for Community Safety & Cohesion, Cllr Gina Needs, recognises Elizabeth's work along with 24 other volunteers from across the borough.
Elizabeth Dobbie joined the Friends of Broomfield Park in 2007 as a volunteer soon after the group was set up. She has been activity involved in growing the organisation since then both directly involved with the park's horticulture and also as a committee member.
Elizabeth was instrumental in transforming the Broomfield Park Conservatory from an empty shell to a fully functional, sub-tropical greenhouse, open to the public year round. It is now a shining jewel in the heart of Bromfield Park because of the leadership Elizabeth has provided to the conservatory group for 15 years.
Five years ago the historic flower beds and shrubs were in a sorry state. Elizabeth has formed a large team of volunteers and worked closely with Enfield officers and staff to transform the park into the amazing asset it is today - much appreciated by visitors and residents. Collectively the volunteer teams that Elizabeth has established in the conservatory and horticulture group contribute over 1500 hours to keeping Broomfield Park a major asset to communities across the borough.
This is a well deserved recognition of a lifetime achievement award from the council. The Friends of Broomfield Park congratulate Elizabeth Dobbie and express our gratitude for her enormous contribution over many years.
