Dorset Road Allotments awarded Green Flag for 19th year!

We are delighted to recieve a Green Flag Award for the 19th year in a row!

The accreditation – the international quality mark for parks and green spaces – is testament to the hard work and dedication of the volunteers who care for the green space so that visitors and residents alike can enjoy it.

Keep Britain Tidy’s Green Flag Award Scheme Manager, Paul Todd MBE, said: “I would like to congratulate everyone involved at Dorset Road Allotments and Leisure Gardens on achieving a Green Flag Award.

 Dorset Road Allotments and Leisure Gardens is a vital green space for communities in Beckenham to socialise, enjoy nature, for children to play safely and it provides important opportunities for park users to improve their physical and mental health.

 We know that staff and volunteers work tirelessly to ensure that it maintains the high standards of the Green Flag Award, everyone involved should feel extremely proud of their achievement. 

 It is important that our free to use spaces are maintained to the Green Flag Award standard, making them accessible for all members of the community while ensuring the environment is protected.”

Clubhouse Crowdfunder launched!

Today we are launching our fundraiser to continue the refurbishment of the Clubhouse.   So far we have raised nearly £30,000 towards the costs and the builders have started work.   But to make sure the Clubhouse can be a fabulous community space for years to come we need to raise more funds.

The Aviva Community Fund will match any money we raise through our new crowdfunder.  If we raise more than our target we will put the surplus funds towards rebuilding the pond viewing platform in the wildife garden.

I hope you can help us raise funds to by donating here: Clubhouse Crowdfunder
