Help Rebuild Our Beloved Adventure Playground

This fundraiser is organized by The Venture Community Hub Ltd.

For over four decades, our adventure playground (based in White City, Gloucester) has been more than just a place to play – it has been the beating heart of our community. A safe haven for thousands of children and a lifeline for those facing struggles, loneliness and hardship. But now, this cherished space needs our help to continue its legacy.

The Challenge We Face

Our original playground, built in 1996, needs an upgrade. Time and countless adventures have taken their toll on the playground and despite our best efforts to maintain it, we've reached a critical point where repairs are no longer enough. We need to rebuild - not just to replace what was, but to create something even better for generations to come.

After extensive community consultations, we’ve designed a playground that features:

• Modern play equipment including swings, climbing ropes, sand and water play, a zipline, and a multi-level play ship.

• Facilities for all ages: from toddler-friendly areas to adventurous spaces for teens.

• A Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) for sports and group activities.

• Accessible routes and adapted equipment like wheelchair-friendly paths, accessible swings, and sensory-friendly areas.

• Family-friendly gathering spots with benches, picnic tables, and landscaped areas designed for comfort and beauty.

Can You Help Us Reach Our Target ?

To bring this vision to reality, we need to raise £500,000. While this might seem like a significant amount, it equates to just £25,000 per year, based on the average minimum lifespan of 20 years for a new piece of play equipment. This is a small price to pay for the impact that Venture has on thousands of children each year.

We’ve already started our journey. We are writing funding applications, organising community fundraisers and engaging with potential partners; we’re doing everything we can to reach our goal.
