Tickford primary school play area renovation
Milton keynes
I’m currently working on a project to completely renovate a primary school outdoor space — entirely free of charge.
I’ve taken this on myself to give something back to the community, funding and carrying out the work independently. The aim is to transform a run-down area into a safe, creative, and enjoyable space that the children can truly be proud of.
To make this possible, I’m now asking for support through donations.
I’m looking for any materials or items that could help bring this space to life, including: • Timber or wood
• Fencing materials
• Paint or outdoor treatments
• Plants, soil, or garden supplies
• Tools or equipment
Every donation, big or small, will go directly into improving this space for the children.
I’d also love to involve the kids by helping them create small features that can be built into the area — giving them a real sense of ownership and pride in what’s being created.
This project isn’t for me — it’s for the children, and they deserve a space where they can play, learn, and enjoy being outdoors.
If you’re able to donate anything at all, or know someone who might be able to help, please get in touch. Even sharing this post would mean a lot and help it reach the right people.
Thank you so much for your support ??
