Sources of funding
The Garden is funded and managed by Saffron Walden Town Council as one of its many open spaces. The Friends provides professional advice and practical gardening support; it also contributes financially to items and projects in the Garden.
Members of The Friends pay an annual subscription which helps to make things happen in the Garden. The Friends also asks for a donation from clubs and societies taking a guided tour of the Garden or for giving a lecture and this brings in helpful extra income.
Donations and legacies made via The Friends are another invaluable addition to the Garden’s funding. You may donate to The Friends here and find out more about leaving a legacy (or remembering a love one) here.
Acknowledgments
The Friends of Bridge End Gardens would like to thank the following people and organisations for their contributions:
Rotary Club Saffron Walden
In 2023 the Rotary Club offered £1250 for the production of four information boards for entrances to the Garden. This came from a bequest to the Rotary Club Saffron Walden from one of their late
members, Donald Purkiss.
