The Halloween 'Trick or Treat' along Dundonald Rd and Wrentham Ave has become huge, with an estimated two thousand people joining the fun every (non-Covid-affected) year.

​

There is now a Facebook group and Instagram feed that tell the story.

​

It has also become a major fundraising event, with £30,000 being raised over the past few years, thanks to the generosity of local people on the night with the bucket collection, online donations, support from Queens Park Design & Build and residents' matched funding.

​

The money has helped Dundonald residents Anita and Bittu towards their goal of raising £1 million to make children's lives better, with the majority of money going to The Great Ormond St Hospital.

​

LOCAL CHARITY SUPPORT

Since 2019 we have fundraised for The Avenues Youth Project and Salusbury World, our local refugee charity.

​

This included teaming up with Queens Park Books, Winkworth and Queens Park Design & Build to take the crowds off Dundonald Rd and Wrentham during Covd restrictions and deliver parcel gifts  to 430 children, raising £7,800!

Dundonald and Wrentham residents could use help in the following ways (other than continuing to donate, of course!):

​

​

1. Can you lend us any equipment/costumes to help us put on the displays - or have contacts you can suggest?

​

​

2. Would you like to 'borrow' a garden space on the two roads to decorate and raise money for your own choice of local charity?

​

(We have the huge numbers of visitors - but many residents in this area don't have the time to decorate).

​

​

3.  Can you help us collect money on the night? Or help us steward the area, e.g. helping to keep the area safe from traffic?
