Friends of Hadleigh Castle Country Park
FHCCP
 

The Friends of Hadleigh Castle Country Park was formed following the conclusion of a successful campaign by another group against a proposal to drive a major road across the Park. The Society is a meeting point for all who are interested in the Park. It is non-political but will campaign where necessary in the interests of the Park.
Charitable status was granted in 1993
