As you may know, our community volunteers have undertaken Maghull’s largest green transformation at Rowlands Dell, unbelievably achieving national recognition from the BBC and RHS, but to finish we need to repopulate the Dell with woodland shrubs and planting, to provide a green restorative haven for wildlife and the community.

The Co-op in the first stage of our charity partnership will give £5 to our fund for each of the first 10 people who sign up as a Co-op member and choose our cause (between 20 October and 15 November), which will initially raise £50.

After which, the more members that sign up and choose our cause the greater amount we will receive as a percentage from a collective fund.

Friends of Maghull and District (FOMD) is part of the @coopuk Local Community Fund (October 2025/26). Download the Co-op App, become a member and choose our cause, so we can receive a share of £5m. https://coopapp.onelink.me/ftOk/ks6ikopc

Background to Rowlands Dell.

This beautiful haven for wildlife has unbelievably been treated as an open tip for decades, where every inch has revealed a variety of pollutants harmful to wildlife. In our three-stage plan, stage I has resulted in Maghull’s biggest ever 46-week cleanup in which FOMD have removed 300 bin bags of litter and 25 tons of debris.

In Stage II (completed in November), with the help of our NHS landowner partners we successfully obtained a health and wellness grant (Maghull’s largest green investment) to fund an amazing legacy array of hard landscaping installations. These features provided accessibility for the whole community and included: accessible path, viewing/picnic area, sunken garden, bins, 10,000 bulbs and planting at small junction points, bug and bird boxes, and a dry waterfall feature). A Morrisons grant has enabled us to create the ongoing bog garden and wishing well.

We are now engaging in stage three to repopulate Rowlands Dell with woodland planting and need your help.
