King George V Playing Field

Throughout the year we host Fun Days, Firework Nights & other charitable events, together with obtaining grant funding, to provide and maintain the playground equipment and surrounding public area which was gifted to the town in 1936 for public recreation. We aim to provide a safe outdoor environment for children of all ages and backgrounds to play in.

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. It does not say which part of government. These totals are separate from the named funders read from its accounts and the grants published on 360Giving, and are not added to them.

Only funders that publish their grants to 360Giving are included, and many do not. These are amounts funders awarded, which can differ from what the charity received in a given year, so they are shown apart from the accounts figures above.
