We’d like to express our gratitude to our major sponsors and partners:
 |
During 2010‑2011 St.James’ Park was restored and improved thanks to a Parks for People award, a joint initiative by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Big Lottery Fund, of £1.1 million made to Southampton City Council and the Friends of St.James’ Park. |
 |
Southampton City Council not only owns and runs St.James’ Park, but has been a major supporter of FoSJP and ring‑fenced £400,000 towards theRestoration & Improvement project, and continues to be very supportive of all that FoSJP is trying to achieve. |
 |
In 2010 DP World Southampton donated £20,000 to FoSJP towards fitting out the kitchen in the ParkLife Café. |
 |
Locality, formerly known as the Development Trusts Association, donated £2,500 to FoSJP towards fitting out the kitchen in the ParkLife Café. |
 |
In Feburary 2012 trust fund Lankelly Chase agreed to pay £39,000 to fund a 3‑year project to help local residents participate in a variety of activities in St.James’ Park. See our Community Activities page for more information. |
 |
FoSJP established ParkLife as a Community Interest Company in November 2010 in order to operate the new café and community room in St.James’ Park following completion of the Restoration & Improvement work. |
 |
In February 2013, FoSJP teamed up with City Limits Employment to start a weekly Job Club in the ParkLife Community Room at St.James Park. |
 |
FoSJP is working with the Southampton City District Scouts to organise a Community Games event in St.James’ Park in Summer 2014. |
