Community five star cafe

Hardie Park received an impromptu visit from Thurrock Council’s food safety officer this week and we are proud to announce we have retained our 5 star rating. A big thank you goes to Nikki Pegrum our cafe supervisor and all of the volunteers who take food safety seriously on a day to day basis. Receiving the official 5 stars once again assures our customers that the highest standards of hygiene have been met.

Thank-you to Barbara!

What a lovely lady. Barbara, one of our customers pictured with her granddaughter Laura visited us  recently and donated £100 to the park for a second time.
Barbara enjoys spending time at the park and loves what we are trying to do for the community.

We said we'd let you know what the funds are spent on. Well, we were desperately in need of a new industrial toaster and it will certainly be put to good use by our volunteers serving up scrumptious Hardie breakfasts. So that's what we've decided to buy!
Thank you 💗 from all of us at Hardie.  We are very grateful.

Park Partners

We've found that members of our community are very generous with donations of both time and money. This has sown a seed and got us thinking. Watch this space for further details on our Park Partners Initiative.

Let's keep the café, park and it's projects growing!

Looking for fundraising ideas

We've got a dream and we need help to realise it. Has anyone in the community got any great fundraising ideas to help purchase a slide similar to this one in St James Park in London? We've cleared the area and had plans drawn up but the final figure is a long way off. If this is something you could help us fundraise for, or you would like to share an innovative way of raising the cash please contact us. Rob Groves or Shane Ralph would love to speak with you.
