Information about the Endcliffe Park Toad sculpture, in Sheffield. The Endcliffe Park Toad The new iron toad shortly after installation on 5th Dec 2024 The Endcliffe Park Toad, seen above, is a well known piece of public art located a few metres below the Cafe. The latest version was installed on 5th December 2024 after almost a year of fundraising by FoPV, and it is made of iron by a local sculptor called Jason Thompson, who has also designed and made other works of art in Sheffield such as the 'Chair' in the Rivelin Valley. This is the third toad made by Jason to sit on this base. The first toad, in 1997, was jointly funded as a celebration of nature - by the Off the Shelf Literary festival, and Sheffield Wildlife Trust. Both wooden toads eventually deteriorated, returning them to nature, each lasting about 12 years. The remains of the 2012 toad were placed beside the holly bush beside the river. Reflecting the original heritage, the current toad sits on the open pages of a book, as with the previous two wooden toads of 1997 and 2012. Sculptor Jason Thomson, and Glyn Mansell of FoPV, visited Greystones Primary School and talked to pupils in Y2 and Y5 about the Toad project. The pupils were fascinated and later produced art and written work which was displayed in school and the Tropical Pavilion at the Botanical Gardens one Saturday in September 2024 . A selection of this work is inscribed onto the new ‘pages’ supporting the metal 2024 toad, some of which can be seen in the pictures below. The iron toad and its watch after one week. The Watch We are often asked about the watch, so we asked Jason to explain. "It’s about time and the frozen nature of sculpture as the world changes around it. The new iron toad , if left alone, could last for ten or twenty thousand years compared to 12 to 15 years for his two wooden incarnations. The frog Prince of fairy tales also comes into it, but as he’s a common toad (Bufo Bufo ) maybe a nice watch is preferable?" Close-ups of the books

The legal documents of the Friends of the Porter Valley in Sheffield. Dokumenter Vores politikker og forfatning er opført her og kan downloades, så du kan læse dem. Constitution Privacy Safety Safeguarding Volunteers Conflict of Interest Finance Complaints Bingham Park Sub Group Insurance - PLI As a registered charity we are required to hold Public Liability Insurance. It provides cover for slips, trips and falls, and injuries suffered by third parties as well as claims made against us for accidental damage caused to someone else's property. The 'blame and claim' culture combined with tough economic times has seen the number of claims (genuine and 'speculative') rise at a fast pace and for many years our trustees have elected to have public liability insurance to protect themselves and the Friends of the Porter Valley against allegations of negligence, including any legal fees or expenses should a case need to be defended in court. Volunteers Importantly however, the cover we have with our insurer also covers our volunteers whilst taking part in any of our organised activities, irrespective of their membership status.
