Our Green ASDA Box Raised £200!

Today we collected a cheque for £200 from ASDA's community scheme to add to our fundraising pot.

We were runners-up, but we did well as everytime I looked the box seemed to have got a lot more coins in it!

Thank you to everyone who put the green coins in our box during the couple of months it was open, and if you know of any other fundraising schemes please get in touch as we have a lot of money to raise in order to renovate the park.

FFG and BevFest Community Picnic

On Saturday 13 August we hosted a community picnic with the BevFest group.

The purpose of the event was to get the community to socialise on the green outside the park and talk about their hopes and ideas for Farm Green.

Hannah (committee member), Sara (Forest school) and Claire (Chair of FFG)

We had a few families come to have picnics and the Bevendean Community Garden group also joined us along with some of the yummy veg from their garden.

Just some of the yummy food from Bevendean Community Garden 

Sara from Fernee Forest School did some arts and crafts with the children, and there were plenty of activities from a bouncy castle, table football to face painting and a book swap.

It was lovely to see those of you who attended, and we hope to run some more of these events over the coming months.


There were suggestions of setting up a healthy cookery class in conjunction with the Community Garden group, having pizza social events at the gardens and running more activities on the green for residents.

So watch this space for more events!
