£4,000 Fundraising Success

Fantastic news!

Friends of Pinner Village Gardens have come first in the latest round of the Tesco Bags of Help scheme for North West London, so our guaranteed £1,000 has been converted into £4,000!

Thanks to all of you who shopped in Tesco’s, persuaded the check-out folk to give you as many blue tokens as possible, and popped said tokens into the FoPVG ‘box’.

Extra thanks to project-manager Antonia Savvides for organising everything.

Extra extra thanks to Antonia and her mother-in-law for shopping like there’s no tomorrow. Absolutely outstanding performance as I’m sure you’ll agree!

Finally, congratulations to our good friends Friends of Roxbourne Park – http://friendsofroxbourne.wixsite.com/park –  who came second and raised £2,000.

Annual Wheelbarrow Race – Volunteers Needed!

In case you are wondering, it’s not to take part in the wheelbarrow race but to help with stewarding! This is for 22 April.

For health and safety reasons, they need to have approximately 16 stewards for the Wheel Barrow Race and the Pinner Rotary Club can provide about 10 of these. So they need about 6 more for the duration of the race.

Basically all they need is to be able-bodied and to be available for 25 minutes from 2:30 to 3:15 pm.    Plus you will get a great view of the race.

If you are able to help, contact

Pinner Association Donation to the Friends of Pinner Village Gardens Children’s Playground Fundraising Appeal.

The Friends of Pinner Village Gardens (FoPVG) are actively fundraising to pay for much needed improvements to the children’s playground in that park.   Currently, the children’s playground is in a poor condition due to several years of semi-neglect.  It is under-utilised by local families due to the limited facilities and it’s rather run down appearance.   FoPVG plan to install some key new pieces of children’s play and educational equipment in the existing children’s playground in Pinner Village Gardens park.  All the planned improvements will make it a more interesting and fun place to play and spend time and a social hub for local families and friends.

The Pinner Association Committee were pleased to donate £500 to this fundraising appeal and Tim Owen, Pinner Association Honorary Treasurer, formally presented the cheque to the Friends of Pinner Village Gardens on Wednesday 14th February.

Anyone who would like to find out how to make a donation or would like to find out more about this exciting project can do so via this link:     https://friendsofpvg.org.uk/#

Thank you to the Pinner Association who kindly donated £500
towards our play equipment. As they were so impressed by how the children had
coped with the events of recent months. They presented the cheque in assembly on Friday 26th January.
