We have been overwhelmed by the generosity of your donations to help fund the extra £20,000 we need for the whole design, in addition to the grants of £166,500 (we have just had an extra £1500 from the Galbraith Trust). Thank you so much! But we still need to raise more, so families, organisations, local businesses - please help our fund raising by donating or helping!

A top priority for our community has long been a better play area, especially for toddlers. At last Caton and Brookhouse can have a brilliant new play park, professionally designed, in the footprint of the tired Fell View play area.

Many thanks to everyone who helped to make "Lights Alive" a great community event around the switch on of the lights of the village Christmas tree, with carols sweetly sung for the crowds by children from Caton Community School.

We would like to hear from anyone who has photos of the Fell View play area in past times .. especially of children playing, and the giant slide which some of you will remember! We can scan in photos to put on the website. We would be interested in hearing memories of the play area especially in the very early days, as we hope to write a short history!

A feast for the imagination will await you in St Paul's Church on Saturday 19th December when decorated and themed Xmas trees from village organisations and local businesses will be on show between 10.30am and 3.30 pm. If we haven’t contacted your organisation yet to ask you to bring along the tree you have, or to create something for the display, please do!

Everyone is warmly invited to the village tree lighting event, with carol singing, in the War Memorial Gardens at 5.00 pm on Saturday 12th December. Thanks to the Parish Council for welcoming this celebration with fundraising for the play park!
