Join a 'Friends of' Group
'Friends of' groups work in partnership with Get Doncaster Moving to ensure that Doncaster's green spaces are well-used and maintained.
We're currently refreshing the Green Space Network (which is there to support 'Friends of' groups) and the way in which we work together to improve parks provision and engage with local communities.
If you would like to know more about this or become involved, please contact Ben Russell, Future Parks Manager: Ben.Russell@doncaster.gov.uk
