We are delighted to announce the winner in the Best Environmental Improvement category.
Friends of Parr Fold Park
This inclusive voluntary group was set up in 2014 to enhance Parr Fold Park. They have 30 diverse volunteers who attend several sessions a week to help maintain the park and their work has culminated in Parr Fold Park being awarded Green Flag status. The group also runs events throughout the year and has replaced and rededicated a memorial plaque in the park.
