Volunteers at a popular Doncaster park have been handed a £500 grant to help installing new seating.

The Friends of Quarry Park in Dunsville, a local voluntary group who work in conjunction with Doncaster Council has received the grant from Localgiving and Postcode Neighbourhood Trust, a grant-giving charity funded by players of People’s Postcode Lottery.

The funding boost will enable fhe Friends to provide another seat for local residents and visitors to sit and rest on the Park and Nature reserve, to chat to friends and neighbours or just watch the fascinating wildlife – birds, butterflies, moths and insects to name but a few or admire the beautiful flowers and trees.

Katrina O’Halloran, vice chair of The Friends of Quarry Park said: “This project is as a result of a request by a local resident and volunteer who we will be very pleased to oblige.”
