Salford City Council has supported friends of parks groups for many years. In recent years the parks and greenspace team have looked at how friends’ groups can become partners in helping to manage their local greenspace. This has resulted in parks officers and groups thinking innovatively about events and activities, park maintenance and fundraising. There has been an increase in friends of parks groups from 22 to 30 over the previous 12 months resulting in better-managed parks and increased community involvement.
