Our Work

Please have a look at our projects to see how we have been working to improve and maintain our recreation ground and pavilion.

If you wish to support us with any existing or future projects please get in touch!

Pavilion Refurbishment

The pavilion was long over due a maintenance and investment.

The GRGC successfully bided for match funding from the Breckland District Council Rural England Prosperity Fund. The Garboldisham Parish provided a grant to support with costs and the remaining funds delivered from the GRGC.

Highlights of the work include:

- Modern energy efficient heating system.

- Fire safety and appliance review and replacement.

- Electrical works and new light fittings.

- New tables and chairs

- New swings for the play area.

- Brush cutter to maintain the green areas.

- Plastering and decorating.

- New flooring.

- Disabled access ramp.

- New kitchenette/utility area.

- New metal security gate.

The £20,000 project has delivered a warm and inviting space surrounded by green space.

A once loved hive of activity has been refurbished in hope to restore it function and use to its former glory.

The Community Orchard

GRGC was awarded £2100 from the Kings Coronation Living Heritage Fund - Community Orchards by Breckland District Council.

Various fruit trees were planted by members of the community. We held a separate planting event for young people in the village to plant and learn about fruit trees and their importance to the bio-diversity of the recreation ground.

A second wave of planting is due in Autumn 25 - look out if you want to get involved!

A thriving orchard is cared for and watered by a group of volunteers from around the village.
