For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 14 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Sycamore Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $2,450. It will serve about 267 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in October 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 $2,450 goes: • Materials: $1,850 • Tools hire and delivery: $230 • Safety equipment and signage: $370 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Mia
