The rain didn't stop play for the 500 visitors who attended the Summer Garden Party at Graylingwell Park, when over £1200 was raised for the British Heart Foundation.

The action-packed day was organised for people living in and around Graylingwell Park and those in Chichester itself and included a variety of lawn games, a tug of war competition, welly-wanging and zorbing. There was plenty of summer food and drink and live music kept everyone entertained. The partnership behind Graylingwell Park hosted the day, which will become an annual event.

Steve Bangs, Managing Director of Linden Homes, says: "The day presented a wonderful opportunity for the whole community to get together, strengthening the link between Graylingwell Park and the city.  The event proved so successful, with lots of positive feedback from those who joined us on the day, that we have decided to form a Summer Garden Party committee so residents at Graylingwell Park and people living in the wider area can have 'hands on' involvement in the organisation of future events."

Preston Davies, area manager for British Heart Foundation, says: "We are delighted with the turn out and would like to thank the Graylingwell partnership and British Heart Foundation staff members for all their hard word in ensuring the event was a great success and for raising so much money on the day for the charity."
