The team behind Park Life Heavitree have been working in and around a large park in Exeter, Devon since 2010 and we’ve learnt a thing or two along the way. Drawing from our expertise, contacts and time ‘on the front line’, we can work creatively and collaboratively with you to support you in your journey, working both to challenge your assumptions and support you in crucial decision making.

Our experience tells us that there are 4 phases to consider - all of which require a multitude of skills and abilities:

1. Planning and Strategy - why are you even deciding to do this and how can you address community specific needs?
2. Funding Sources - if your project needs funding, it's important to think carefully about who might be a good source of funding and what the best approaches might be
3. Project Delivery - running a project is never easy!
4. Project review and impact assessment - it's important to look back on what you’ve achieved and evaluate your impact in the local community and beyond.

If you are interested in finding out more, please read this document to help you work out how and if we could help your project to get started or if we can help you along the way.
