A FUNDRAISING 2021 calendar for Queens Park has raised £3,600 to help with refurbishment of the amenity's play area.

The calendar was put together by members of the 'Queens Park Crewe - The People's Park' Facebook group. The group allows its members to share photos and comments about what they believe is the town's great asset.

The calendar featured photographs submitted by group members of Queens Park throughout all the seasons of the year within the popular Grade II listed public park.

Park Life Café in the park sold the calendar and also kindly donated £1,200 of the grand total by contributing an extra £5 for each copy.

Diane Scoffin, who helped with the fundraising, said: "We are totally overwhelmed by the amount raised and a huge thank you to Park Life Café for their very generous contribution.

"It shows how popular the park is even with people who no longer live in Crewe, but who still have fond memories."

The cash raised will used by the 'The Friends of Queens Park' volunteer group to support the refurbishment.

The Friends of Queens Park are a group of volunteers, who support the park by raising awareness about the park and its facilities, while promoting opportunities for involvement.
