After an amzaing response to our local fundraising campaign, and support from a number of local businesses, we are delighted to announce the Phase I equipment has been ordered and is due to be installed in October. This equipment has a focus on 4-14 year olds, but should have something for everyone.

We are still seeking funding for the landscaping element, which will need to be completed before we can open the play area, so any further donations would be extremely gratefully received. We have also started applying for funding to deliver Phase II, which will focus on equipment for 0-4 year olds and more inclusive play. 

Thank you to all the amazing people who have made this possible!

You may have heard the fantastic news that we have been awarded £100,000 from the Community Regeneration Fund and have another £32,000 from a combination of other funds and fundraising activities.  We are also waiting to hear the outcome of further application for £30,000 . This means we are now in a position to start planning Phase One of the Play Park build. We are very excited. BUT, we are also still missing around £50,000 to achieve the full park project.
 
Can you help?
We are seeking sponsorship from local businesses to help us achieve this and we need your help to introduce us to potential friendly contacts who might be interested.
 
We also want to make sure businesses get something back from their support. We have created a range of sponsorship categories with suggested benefits we can provide:
 
Gold  
A full item of equipment  (see PDF table below for illustrative costs) 

• Everything in Bronze and Silver;

• Acknowledge on our website.  

 
Please can you let us know of any contacts who might be able to help. A warm introduction can make all the difference.
 
And if this kind of thing is what gets you out of bed in the morning then we would also really appreciate some help to meet with potential sponsors once an introduction has been made. 
 
The Strathpeffer Residents' Association are busy planning the build, so any help in approaching businesses would be much appreciated.
  
Best Regards,
The SRA team.

We are absolutely delighted that our local Councillors approved our application for £96,878 via the Highland Council’s Community Regeneration Fund this week

This is a massive boost to our target of £155,979 to deliver the first phase of a new inclusive children’s play area in Strathpeffer.

With additional funding from the Strathpeffer and Contin EDF Renewables Corriemoillie Community Funds (Foundation Scotland), the Mackenzie New York Villa Trust, and your generous donations via our community fundraising events, we have now secured an amazing £122,878.

As you can see, high quality, long-lasting play equipment and safety surfaces are expensive. As such we are now reaching out to local businesses to secure additional sponsorship. We have three sponsorship packages available starting at £50-£300 for our bronze-level supporters. Please contact us if you are interested, as a local business, or are able to introduce us to a business that might be interested.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far.

The SRA Board welcomed past trustees, volunteers and others who have supported the park to officially celebrate the opening of our all ability path network. It was wonderful to share this moment with so many and reflect on how far we've come over the ten years our community has worked on the project.
Our fire pit did us proud providing warmth and BBQ. If you would like access to the grill for your own event please get in touch.
