Open Public Meeting

FoBP - Becoming a Registered Charity

The Friends of Broomfield Park were delighted to welcome over 40 people to an open public meeting at the Ruth Winston Centre on Tuesday 28th January. 


The purpose of the evening was to 

  • Explain how and why FoBP has become a charity 
  • Explain the charity’s purposes 
  • Invite local people to find out more and contribute to FoBP development 


Becoming a registered charity is a complex process so it was important to outline what is what is happening and why. If you want to find out more our website has a dedicated page which gives more detail and is a good place to start. 


An abridged version of the slide presentation from the meeting is available to view online. 


It was really good to hear about what the local community valued in the park – the range of contributions is summarised in the word cloud below, (largest words were repeated more often, smaller less frequently), with the full text available as a download below.

We also asked wanted to know how we might focus our development priorities, and a very wide range of ideas were discussed; summarised in this image below. These ideas broadly fall into two categories - those that relate to the fabric and infrastructure of the park and those that relate to the activities and events the Friends of Broomfield Park organise, to engage and include our local community. We will be lobbying the council on the former and setting future plans to take forward these suggestions.

 The Friends of Broomfield Park charity will build on the dedication and talents of our volunteers, who do great work in the Conservatory, Long Border, Wetlands, and wildlife habitats. We’ll also engage with park users to discover new ways to enhance the park and better meet their needs.
