FoSJP AGM 2019 will be postponed

Please note that due to unforeseen circumstances we have had to postpone our AGM on the 18 June.
We will let you know the new date in due course.

Stall in Sainsbury’s

On Wednesday 12 December, Marina, Mandy, Jay and Hilde set up stall at Sainsbury’s to share information on what the Friends of do. We also had a tombola, which Sainsbury’s were great and donated gifts towards. We spoke to a lot of people, handed out flyers and had a great time on our stand!

Jay’s little dog, Blue came along too and proved a big winner with the shoppers too!

FoSJP has become a registered Charity!

Great News from the Friends of St. James Park!

Friends of St James Park has now been registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales as a charitable incorporated organisation with voting members other than its trustees.

We will continue to function as previously with all our supporters but there will no longer be a membership fee. An important change, however, is that, as a registered charity, we will now be eligible to apply for many more grants and funding which will enable us to continue with our existing work and to offer more to the local community.

We look forward to your continuing support and please get in touch if you would like to become more involved with the charity!

Happy New Year from FoSJP!

After a well‑earned rest over the festive season, regular activities will soon be resuming in St.James’ Park.

Keep an eye out here and on our Facebook page for news of more happenings in and around the Park in the coming months!

Tis The Season To Be Jolly

Best Wishes for the Festive Season from FoSJP!
As another busy year for FoSJP and St.James’ Park draws to a close, it’s almost time for a well‑earned rest over the festive season. Look out for news of more happenings in and around the Park in the New Year.
