| Recipient Org: Description | Warley Woods Community Trust manages 100 acre urban park in Smethwick, Sandwell. The park contains woodland, open parkland, a wild area and a nine hole pay and play golf course. The Trust took on the management of the site in 2004 as the site had become very run down and local people believed they could better manage it themselves. The Trust managed the spending of £750,000 grant from Heritage Lottery to improve the site and put inpaths, fencing, benches and bins etc. It then followed this up by restoring our Edwardian drinking fountain, increasing pathways, putting in a play area and a wildlife area. It now maintains the site, involving local people in as many ways as possible. Over 900 people have joined the Trust, over 400 people give their time to help maintain and manage the site and thousands enjoy the range of events and activities that the Trust organises every year. Warley Woods has won Green Flag Award for the park in each of the last seven years. In 2010 it also won a Green Flag Innovation Award for its communications work on a wildlife project and in 2011 and 2012 it came second in a vote for the most popular green space in the UK. |
