SPONSERSHIP

Warley Woods Community Trust

FAMILY OWNED SINCE THE 1960'S

PROUDLY SERVING OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY AND SURROUNDING AREAS FOR OVER 60 YEARS

Celebrating Another Year of Partnership with Warley Woods

Since 2023, Bayliss Garages has been proud to support Warley Woods, a valued community green space enjoyed by thousands of local residents throughout the year.

Following the passing of John Bayliss, we wanted to continue his long-standing commitment to the local community by supporting an organisation that brings people together and makes a lasting positive impact. Partnering with Warley Woods was a natural choice.

Today, we are proud sponsors of two of Warley Woods' most popular annual events, Picnic in the Park and Santa in the Park. These events create memorable experiences for families across the Black Country and Birmingham, encouraging community spirit, outdoor activity and local engagement.

As a family-run business, we believe in giving back to the area that has supported us for generations. Our continued sponsorship reflects our commitment to helping local organisations thrive and ensuring that community events like these can continue to be enjoyed for years to come.

We look forward to supporting Warley Woods for many years ahead and are honoured to play a small part in the fantastic work carried out by the team and volunteers.

The Trust

Warley Woods Community Trust was set up in 1997 to restore and manage Warley Woods Park as an asset for the local community. It was the idea of local residents to manage the site themselves and this remains core to the Trust's ethos today with volunteers playing a central role in everything that goes on, supported by a small core group of staff, essential to a complex site open 365 days a year.

Its first projects were to restore the essential elements expected of a modern park through a Heritage Lottery Funded project, provide a play area through a Big Lottery grant and restore the Edwardian Drinking Fountain using monies from landfill tax grants. Once these were completed the Trust has worked on many other development and activity projects winning public thanks and national recognition. It remains one of the very few charities in the UK managing an urban park of any size. Community management with decisions made by local residents (volunteers) remains a core principle of its success.
