Fundraising & Volunteering

The Lloyd Park Centre is a registered charity that incorporates services across both the Lloyd Park and Higham Hill community. 

Although many users pay fees for services such as Daycare; the Centre relies heavily on fundraising.  The centre’s raises funds through a variety of different activities (and we are always on the look-out for new ideas) including:

• Fundraising events  - The centre’s fundraising sub group work really hard planning regular events that are not only aimed at raising funds, but also offer fun activities for families to enjoy.  Regular events include Lloydstock; a summer music festival, a winter fayre, a Halloween family disco and quiz nights. 
• Grants and trusts - This is usually to fund specific projects or to purchase pieces of equipment.  Currently the centre is funded by The Big Lottery Fund and BBC Children in Need but applications to local and national funders are submitted regularly.
• Contracts - The centre increasingly applies for contracts to deliver services.  This currently includes Children’s Centre services and some of the centre’s training.
