Friends of Valley Park

About Friends of Valley Park

Friends of Valley Park is a volunteer group that looks after Valley Park, the green corridor off Welbury Way in Cramlington. Volunteers meet every Thursday at 10am at the Valley Park entrance sign. Their work includes path clearing, litter picks, putting up bird boxes, planting saplings and a community orchard, and red squirrel monitoring with the Cramlington and District Red Squirrel Group.

The group has won the #LoveCramlington Green Champions Award two years running. New volunteers can simply turn up on a Thursday morning or get in touch first by email at FOVPweb@gmail.com. Details were checked in November 2026.
