Winthrop Park have won the prestigious UK
Community Project Award for our outstanding
support and service to the community. This Award,
run by the Nationwide Building Society, was
announced at the Tower of London on the 11th
November and presented to trustees Carol and
David Bowser by the BBC’s presenter Nicholas
Owen. Winthrop Park was short listed from over 1,600 charities and projects from
across the UK and Ireland, with 96 of the best invited to the ceremony in London.

We are delighted to now be running the Ecominds
projects, including short walks to benefit mind, body,
and souls, and DVD presentations and talks to groups
as part of our outreach activities.

We have been working hard over the winter months to create a new
Tea Room (now serving sandwiches, soup, toasted tea cakes, various
coffees & teas, and our renowned selection of cakes), extensive plant
sales area, fantastic gifts and craft work, and providing new artwork,
sculptures, and features in the garden.

HRH THE PRINCESS ROYAL VISITS WINTHROP PARK
TO PRESENT THE QUEEN’S AWARD

Winthrop Park has won the highest UK merit award - The Queen’s Award
for Voluntary Service. This prestigious award is equivalent of being
awarded an MBE to a charity or voluntary group and is attributed to the hard
work and dedication of our growing numbers of volunteers and the proven
positive impact we have achieved on the environment, well being, and the
community. It is a privilege and honour that Her Majesty The Queen
should recognise the work of a small charity in South Yorkshire as
champions of excellence in the work we do.
