What our donation will help fund

The award will provide valuable support to our project to repair Port Sunlight’s Grade II listed Boating Pond. Bringing this much-loved feature, alongside the beautiful Sir Charles Wheeler-designed Sea Piece fountain, back into use is a priority for us.

As a charity responsible for preserving and promoting Port Sunlight, this donation will help us to further engage the public with both Port Sunlight’s cultural importance and the significant examples of public art we care for.

Port Sunlight Village Trust was lucky enough to receive a £20,000 Movement for Good Award in 2022, which has also supported this ongoing conservation project, so we are very grateful to Movement for Good and Benefact Group for their continued support.
