Bourne2Play
Community Development
We are almost at our total fundraising goal to get the park installed and achieve one of the biggest community projects in Bourne!
About this cause
Bourne2Play was set up by four Bourne mums who were unhappy with the state of the Wellhead play area. Since the charity was formed a 25-year lease for the Wellhead play area has been signed between Bourne United Charities and South Kesteven District Council. The following has been raised by the charity to date: £44,759 of South Kesteven District Council Section 106 money, paid by developers building in the town. £10,000 Bourne Round Table £10,000 Len Pick Trust £10,000 Tesco Bags for Help £14,000 Bourne2Play & other smaller local charities via fundraising events
How this cause brings people in the community together
The current park is very old with many pieces of equipment being removed over the years as these were no longer in a state to be repaired. The Wellhead field is a main attraction in the centre of Bourne with its beautiful ornamental cherry trees, War Memorial and the water that attracts wildlife to enjoy. But the Wellhead park is a huge let down for such a nice area in a big town. There will be so many benefits to having a new main park in the centre of town which includes attracting more families to the area which provides a fun and safe environment for children of different ages and abilities to bring out their creativity, with hours of adventures to be had. Once funding has been achieved the park will be installed by a professional park instillation company.
