Your Donations at Work in Poundbury

Ever wondered how your donations to the Community Association of Poundbury are making a difference in our community? Thanks to your generosity, we've raised over £1500 since we began fundraising in April—including an anonymous pledged donation of £500—and every penny is being put to use supporting impactful projects and initiatives that bring us closer together.

Here's how your donations have been spent so far:

• Virtual Community Hub: development and hosting of this platform have made it easier than ever for community members to find information about everything Poundbury, local events and news, and volunteering

• LovePoundbury Newsletter: your contributions keep our much-loved weekly email running smoothly, helping the community stay informed

• Membership Card Printer: this vital tool ensures our membership process is efficient and affordable

  
  

What's Coming Next

Your continued support is paving the way for exciting new projects, including:

• Doggie Bag Dispenser Pilot Project: promoting a cleaner, greener Poundbury for all

• New Resident/Volunteer Meet-Up: strengthening connections and welcoming more people into our community fold

• Inaugural General Meeting: we will send out save-the-date notification very soon, inviting you to come together to shape our community's future

  
  

We're thrilled about upcoming initiatives driven by dedicated volunteers, such as a youth photography competition and a Christmas event. 

We're always looking at the potential for new projects too. With additional volunteers, we'd love to:

• Develop a booking system for Damers Tennis Court.

• Launch Poundbury in Bloom 2026, adding vibrant beauty throughout the community.
