Making a donation
As a Council we receive many requests for memorials and donations to create a focus for a memory of something or someone. Many of these requests are because a family member wishes to remember someone with a memorial or commemorate a birth, or wedding.
Making a donation is a positive way of commemorating these events, and it helps us manage a special place for the benefit of all. Memorial and donation options include artwork, seating, picnic tables, trees, spring bulbs. As well as interpretation, stiles, flower-beds and woodland planting.
The information below provides information on how to proceed with your donation idea.

Guiding principles of donations
- To be respectful, sympathetic and easily understood by the public
- To balance the sometimes contrasting needs of a variety of site users
- To maintain and enhance the high quality appearance of sites and not detract from their prime purpose.
