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 (2024). \nIn Stage II (November 2024)\, 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\, 12\,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. \nWe now need your help throughout 2026 for funding and planting to complete a beautiful restorative legacy haven. \nAll the Best\, \nFriends of Maghull & District (FOMD) \nTogether making Maghull a better place to live. \n\nWinner of the UK 2025 BBC One Show/RHS Growing Together Community Garden Award.\nWinner of the 2022 BBC Make a Difference Environmental Award.\n\nMore information at www.fomd.co.uk including: (1) Events tab for everything about the meeting and (2) Projects tab for the project background. \nContact: admin@fomd.co.uk \n#fomdcic #Maghull #Environment
