A skate park for the Freedom health centre yard: help our neighbors in London

Volunteers in London are raising $1,850 for a skate park at the Freedom health centre yard.

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 10 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Freedom health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $1,850. It will serve about 257 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in January 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $1,850 goes: • Tools hire and delivery: $500 • Materials: $1,050 • Safety equipment and signage: $300 With deep gratitude, Lucy
