The members of the Friends of Temple Newsam Park pay an annual subscription each year to cover essential costs including printing, postage, insurance and running the website. All other activities are funded via fund raising events, grants, donations and volunteer labour. Since Councils across the country are no longer able to maintain so many parks, woodlands and other green spaces to an appropriate standard, the future maintenance of our park is heavily reliant on Friends Groups such as ours; and on the generosity of those who visit it and value its beauty and serenity. If you wish to support the work of the Friends Group and/or the restoration of the park’s heritage you can do so in a variety of ways:
Making a general donation
Your donation will go towards the purchase of various projects within the Park, or help with the provision of tools and equipment for the volunteers. Some people do not wish their donation to receive any publicity and FoTNP will always honour that wish.
Making a bequest or donation in memoriam
There is the option to record a significant donation in memorium. If you are interested in this option, please send an email, including a telephone number to fotnp2019@gmail.com and we will contact you to discuss the way forward.
Corporate Sponsorship
We welcome approaches from organisations who wish to support the park. Sponsorship might relate to a specific event or a trail leaflet: alternatively, it could enable a large project to be undertaken e.g. as part of matched funding required in a bid to e.g. the Heritage Lottery Fund. Such support would be acknowledged in any relevant publicity. Please contact our Chair, Ian Howarth, if you wish to discuss this.
