The Friends

Since the group was formed in February 2021, we have worked hard to make the park feel safer, cleaner and accessible for all. FoGP have organised various community events in the park from litter picks to conservation work in the park.

We have worked closely with residents, local police, the council parks department and many organisations to bring investment and development into the park.

We are proud to receive The Community Impact Award at the West Midlands National Park Awards 2021.We continue to strive in making Georges Park a safe hub for the local community of Lozells.
