Friends of Treorchy Park

Our group was formed in 2016 with the aim of improving Treorchy Park and its surrounding area. We host many events at the park for the public and have been instrumental in securing new playground equipment and improvements to the park infrastructure. We also operate the paddling pool each year during the summer holidays which is a much needed community resource which is free of charge.

From the charity's annual return to the Charity Commission, which asks every charity with income over £10,000 how much came from government grants and contracts.
