We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a playground - we need $1,750 for materials.

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 28 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Unity community hall, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $1,750. It will serve about 400 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in February and everyone is invited. We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $1,750 goes: โ€ข Materials: $1,000 โ€ข Permits and inspections: $115 โ€ข Safety equipment and signage: $135 โ€ข Tools hire and delivery: $500 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

        • The list at the bottom is the whole picture. materials is the biggest at $1,000. Ask me anything else.
