We are a dedicated group of volunteers working to preserve this valued green space to meet the needs of our diverse urban community
Our aims
To ensure that Talacre Town Green (also named Talacre Gardens) is adequately maintained and that repairs, alterations and improvements are made in keeping with the wishes and aspirations of the local residents and open space users.
To propose schemes and ideas for the improvement and maintenance of the open space and to promote its beauty, wildlife, security and community interest.
To involve the entire community improving Talacre Town Green, including well-wishers from outside the locality.
To conserve the natural plant and wildlife and to encourage public access without discrimination or detriment to the enjoyment of the space users and to ensure that the existing and future by-laws are adhered to.
To keep Talacre Town Green open, unbuilt upon and by all lawful means prevent, resist and abate all encroachment and to protect it and preserve it as an open space.

Can you help repair the children's playground bench?
We are currently raising money to help pay for materials and skilled labour to repair and conserve this wonderful piece of community art which borders the children's playground. The original render has suffered water ingress over the last few years and needs replacing to make it good again for the next 20 years.
Built back in 2008 by teams of artists, school children, teachers and volunteers, the bench features beautiful mosaics and ceramic inlays, and is adored by children and adults alike who use it to climb on, rest, play games, eat snacks and much more.
See our donation link below or click here if you can help to raise some of the money needed for the skilled labour and materials required.
We also need volunteers to help carefully remove the old render, conserve the mosaics, and finally repaint the bench. Please get in touch via our email address if you would like to help us with this rewarding community work. We will provide the tools and equipment needed, all you need to give is some of your time.
For the full history of this unique work of art and the community work that created it, head to our Bench Project page.
