Friends of Millhouses Park

Everyone else who pitched in to make it an amazing day

It’s that time again! The Friends of Millhouses Park Annual General Meeting will be held on WEDNESDAY 12th MARCH 2014 in the PARK CAFE from 7:30pm – 9:00pm.

The BT Community Challenge renovated 4 much-needed benches for us using the Mill Buildings as a base! Why not watch this great video to get a taste of the event?

BT BUSINESS VOLUNTEER PROGRAMME – SHEFFIELD from BT Business on Vimeo.

Today saw the first opening of the Small Mill Building to a group of invited guests.
It’s been a labour of love to save this old lady from dereliction and decay, but she’s now safe and waiting for a new and exciting use!

Don’t forget it’s Milly Jam 2013 on Saturday 8th June. The forecast is for blue skies and scorching temperatures so it should be a great day for the whole family!
