Slipper Mill Pond Preservation Association
Registered Charity No:277744

The Association

The Slipper Pond Preservation Association dedicates itself fully to its mandate to "protect and conserve the wildlife and natural environment of the Slipper Mill Pond  for the benefit and quiet enjoyment of the public."

The SMPPA is a fully  Registered Charity and relies on subscriptions, donations and grants to carry out its works.

Volunteers carry out as much of the maintenance and repair work as possible, and specialists are engaged for the more complicated tasks. All major works are subjected to Risk Analysis based on the recommendation of the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers  to ensure safe working. Recent tasks undertaken have included the strengthening of the inside faces of the banks and emergency works to the outer wall by the sluice gate.

Events are held throughout the year, and it has become a tradition to have at least one evening talk and a Christmas Dinner - functions which are attended with much enthusiasm.
