Poole Park Charity Bed

Poole Flying Boats Celebration - click to enlarge imageThe wonderful summer bedding display at the western (Kingland Road) entrance to Poole Park is supported by the Leisure Services Poole in Bloom budget, and is available to local charities celebrating a major milestone - an anniversary or centenary for instance.

In 2008 the bed featured a display from the Poole Flying Boat Celebrations

For 2009 we are growing a colourful display for Julia's House, the Dorset Children's Hospice, and in 2010 we help the Girlguiding Association celebrate their centenary.

In 2011, at the special request of Councillor Peter Adams, we will recognise the work of Help & Care, a Bournemouth based charity working with older people and carers across Dorset.

The bed will be dedicated in 2012 to the Poole Olympics Group, and in 2013 to SSAFA (Dorset Branch) in recognition of its 125th Anniversary.  SSAFA helps serving and ex-service men, women and families in need.

Poole in Bloom is supported by Borough of Poole Leisure Services
