Opening Date & AGM

Feb 10, 2020

February is the month of love and we love that the park is opening on Monday 17th February at 11am. We hope to see you all there, exploring the park, celebrating this new inclusive community asset and sharing some cake. Rain or shine we’ll be there to meet you (and if it’s freezing wear your ‘big coat’). 

Our Annual General Meeting is on Friday 28th February at 11am and will be held at The Baptist Church Centre, Gillbrae Road, Dumfries. We hope as many members as possible will be able to join us there.

We are looking forward to sharing details about our journey bringing an inclusive park to central Dumfries and plans for the year ahead. The date is a special one as it also marks the 2nd birthday of Include Us as a Scottish Charity. Our accounts have been submitted and are available to view on the Scottish Charity Regulator’s website: Include Us – OSCR
