Boston Manor Lottery Project funding coming to an end
The National Heritage Lottery Fund project officially ends in Dec 2025. This is the third (and hopefully not final) Nature Festival. The Boston Manor Park had a 3 year activity programme for these funded activities which ends in September 2025. There are lots of plan to raise more funding so go to Reconnecting Boston Manor Park for updates.
Independent consultants (ERS) have been appointed to report comprehensively to the funders about the impact of the Boston Manor Park restoration project. ERS would appreciate everyone who has been to the park (for any reason) to complete a survey. You will find the (Visitor and Volunteer) surveys here.
