SLIPPER MILL POND PRESERVATION ASSOCIATION - SMPPA
Managed by Volunteers for the Benefit of the Community & Wildlife
Members & Friends of the Pond
It is always a pleasure to welcome new members to share the satisfaction we all get from our involvement in the care of the Pond. Members are mostly made up of those who live in the vicinity of the Pond and seek to maintain its eco systems, as well as its natural beauty. Thanks to the SMPPA it has become a delightful haven for wildlife and an open space for everyone to enjoy.
Subscriptions from Members and Friends alike form the backbone of the SMPPA's finances. Members regularly carry out minor repairs, maintain the banks and planting, and keep the area around the Pond clean and tidy.
Additionally, with the help of many benefactors over the years (including generous help from private donations along with Chichester Harbour Conservancy, Chichester District Council and West Sussex County Council), this has enabled numerous structural projects including restoration of the sluice gates, repairs to the west bank etc etc.
Membership Fees are currently as follows:
*Minimum £20 for Full Members - Open to those who live in sight of, or in very close proximity to, the Pond. Voting rights apply.
