Frequently Asked Questions:
What will my money be used for?
Help maintain and improve Rivington Gardens. The estimated finance needed to maintain the Gardens, once the restoration work has been completed, is of the order of £60,000 per year. Your membership fee will help towards this sum.
Are you looking for any other sources of funding?
We will be looking for Sponsors and Patrons. United Utilities Water are committed to a significant annual contribution. In addition we will be seeking further grants from funding bodies to help with delivering activities such as working with schools and youth groups.
How can I get more involved?
You can join our existing group of Volunteers (for free) who work to maintain and improve the Gardens, in addition, there is a programme of “non-physical” work involving volunteer led research and investigation of archive material and memories.
Membership creates a means of participating in key decisions and the opportunity to become more directly involved in the committee.
Do I have to become a member in order to continue volunteering on conservation days in the Gardens?
No
