Fundraising for a new playground
Chiswick House and Gardens Trust is fundraising for new play equipment for the children’s play area next to the Chiswick House Café. The current equipment is sadly getting past its prime, with the only swing breaking beyond repair in July. Any new equipment is subject to the success of some grant applications and community fundraising, but the Trust is optimistic and excited about the prospect of developing a more engaging, inspiring and interactive space to play for children and their families.
