Telford Green Spaces Partnership (TGSP) has been set up to provide friends of groups who operate in Telford & Wrekin Councils green and open spaces guidance and legal support for their community group. In the Borough, we currently have over 20 active friends of groups operating in our green and open spaces. The friends of groups cover a wide range of voluntary activities and local community events. TGSP offers the friends of groups guidance and support if it is required and offer a network between all of the friends of groups so they can share ideas ad suggestions to conserve and improve our local green and open spaces. 

TGSP also provide support to community groups who are wishing to set up a friends of group in one of Telford & Wrekin Council's green and open spaces. 

If you are interested in volunteering with one of the Boroughs friends of groups please get in contact with the individual friends of groups through their website or media pages. 

This table shows the friends of group and their contact details.
