Millfields User Group gets no direct funding from Hackney Council or any other source.  Anything we organise has to be funded by applying for grants or from donations.

Hackney Council has developed and upgraded the park often at our request or in consultation with the User Group.  This includes providing our community noticeboard, new seating and picnic tables, installing information boards that we wrote and designed, and supporting our funding application for a roller skating space (ongoing).

The Tree Circle Cinema held in the circle of plane trees in South Millfields now costs about £2000 a year to put on.   In 2026 the cinema will be held on Saturday 12 September.  Monies raised from our annual plant sale help cover the cost but we will also seek donations from local residents and small grants
