Supporting a Community Tradition at Ponteland Party in the Park

The Harrison Foundation was pleased to support this year’s Ponteland Party in the Park, helping one of the area’s longest-running community events continue to bring local people together.

Held annually in Ponteland Park in Northumberland, the event has become a well-established fixture in the local calendar, attracting families, community groups, charities and local organisations from across Ponteland and the surrounding area. The event features a wide range of activities, including live music, children’s entertainment, community stalls, refreshments and fundraising activities, creating an afternoon that can be enjoyed by all ages.

The Harrison Foundation’s donation helped support the delivery of the event and contributed towards ensuring that it remained accessible to the local community.

Representing the Harrison Foundation at the event was trustee Daniel Harrison MBE,, who attended with his family and spent time meeting organisers, volunteers and local residents.

Reflecting on the day, Daniel said:

“It was a delight to support an event that has been such an important part of our local community for many years. My family and I had a great afternoon and it was fantastic to see so many smiling faces.”

Events such as Party in the Park play an important role in strengthening community connections. They provide opportunities for local organisations to engage with residents and help community groups raise awareness of their work.

For the Harrison Foundation, supporting local community initiatives remains an important part of our work across the North East and beyond. Alongside projects focused on education, sport and social mobility, the Foundation is committed to supporting activities that help strengthen local communities and improve opportunities for people to connect and participate.

Ponteland Party in the Park continues to demonstrate the value of community-led events and the positive impact they can have on local residents. The Harrison Foundation is proud to have played a small part in supporting this year’s event and would like to thank the organisers and volunteers whose efforts helped make the day such a success.
