Thank you SO MUCH Parkers for your support in keeping Our Parks FREE throughout the winter. Your emails are certainly getting the message across and I have had calls from the programme funders acknowledging how loud you all have been shouting. We are not quite there yet so please do keep your emails coming. I'll update you all as soon as I have news. Details are below on how to send your support.
