Support
the Friends
Volunteer
The Friends of Cannizaro Park is staffed entirely by volunteers, whether that be the Board of Trustees or the many people who give their time to maintain the park planting and taking care of the aviary. We depend upon a dedicated and enthusiastic volunteer team of helpers, and we are always ready to welcome new volunteers, whether they are members of the Friends or not.
Park Volunteers
Volunteers bring many skills and a wide range of knowledge to assist our aims in maintaining and restoring the Park.
Organisational Volunteers
While many have relevant skills, energy and enthusiasm are often enough so we welcome those looking to expand their experience.
Become a friend
By becoming a Friend of Cannizaro Park, you enable us to do the work and maintenance needed to keep the park looking beautiful. The regular subscriptions we receive from The Friends of Cannizaro Park are the foundation for our annual expenditure, and ensure that the Park remains the special place that it is. And in gratitude, you are given advanced booking and/or discount for events in the park, and invitations to friends-only events.
Donate
Cannizaro Park thrives on the donations we receive from those who love the park. Whether small or large, regular or a one-off, any donation is gratefully received. The donations we receive are used for general improvements, for specific park projects, and for the addition of trees or rhododendrons to add to our nationally recognised collection.
All the work carried out in the park is done entirely by volunteers with money raised from local residents and businesses.
Without your help, none of this would be possible.

We are often asked if it is possible to commemorate a loved one by donating a bench to Cannizaro Park.
If you would like to donate one of the trees we plant each year, we can commemorate a loved one on the tree’s label.
All trees are agreed with Merton Council and are selected for their character or their habit, along with size, rarity, and suitability for position and soil type.
