Friends groups will vary according to the interests of the people involved and the nature of the green space which has been 'befriended'. It may be a formal park, an open space, churchyard or one of the many natural areas in South Staffordshire.

 

A group will normally consist of neighbours and users of green space together with interest groups and representatives of other organisations which have an interest in the area. Meetings will take place according to the needs of the group themselves; it can be once a month or as little as once a year.

 

South Staffordshire Council actively encourages and supports the formation of Friends groups. If there is a space near you, or an area which you use and care about, why not get together with friends and neighbours and help to make it a space to be proud of?
