Local Business Support: Sutcliffe Play Chooses Us as Their 2025 Charity!

We’re absolutely delighted to announce that we have been chosen as the 2025 charity of the year by Sutcliffe Play! 🎉

Based right here in Upton, Pontefract, Sutcliffe Play is the UK’s first and only employee-owned playground equipment designer and manufacturer. They specialise in creating bespoke outdoor play spaces that inspire children to explore, play, and grow—making them a perfect match for our mission at Little Buds Eco Allotment.

Supporting Outdoor Learning & Play

As part of their support, Sutcliffe Play will be helping us continue to provide a beautiful, free outdoor space for young wilderness explorers . At Little Buds Eco Allotment, Children & Adults can:
🌱 Get hands-on with nature
🎨 Enjoy crafting and creative activities
🍓 Grow a variety of fruits and vegetables
🐞 Discover wildlife and outdoor learning experiences

A Generous Donation for Our Budding Gardeners

Recently, Angela, Employee Ownership Councillor at Sutcliffe Play, visited the allotment to personally deliver a kind donation and spend time with our amazing volunteers. This generous contribution will go towards:
🧤 New gardening gloves to keep little hands safe while they dig, plant, and explore
💦 A new pond pump to help attract frogs, newts, and other amphibians as spring arrives

We are so grateful for the support from Sutcliffe Play and their commitment to creating outdoor spaces where children can learn, play, and thrive.

A huge thank you to everyone involved—we can't wait to see how this partnership helps Little Buds grow and grow! 🌿✨
