Website terms and conditions
Last updated: 10 September 2026
1. About us
This website, www.blythehillfields.org.uk, is operated by Friends of Blythe Hill Fields (“we”, “us” or “our”), a constituted voluntary community group supporting Blythe Hill Fields and its local community.
You can contact us at secretary@blythehillfields.org.uk.
These terms explain how you may use our website. Please read them before using it. If you do not agree with these terms, please stop using the website.
2. About this website
We provide information about Blythe Hill Fields, our work, community news, events and ways to get involved.
We take reasonable care to keep information accurate and up to date, but cannot guarantee that every page is complete or current. Please check relevant details before travelling to an event or relying on information that may have changed.
The park Blythe Hill Fields is owned by the London Borough of Lewisham. This is the Friends’ website, and information here does not replace council rules, official notices or instructions displayed in the park.
3. Using the website
You may use the website for lawful purposes. You must not:
Use it fraudulently or in a way that infringes another person’s rights.
Send unlawful, threatening, abusive or deliberately misleading material through it.
Introduce viruses or other harmful material.
Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, its accounts or supporting systems.
Disrupt the website or interfere with other people’s use of it.
We may restrict access where reasonably necessary to address misuse, protect security or comply with the law.
4. Our content
Unless otherwise stated, copyright and other intellectual property rights in the website’s text, photographs, videos, graphics and other content belong to us or to the people who have authorised us to use them.
You may view, download and print extracts for personal, educational or non-commercial community use, provided you acknowledge the source, retain any copyright notices and do not alter the meaning or imply our endorsement.
This permission applies only to content we own or are authorised to license. Content credited to third parties may require their permission.
Please contact us before using our content commercially or using our name or logo to suggest an association or endorsement. Nothing in these terms restricts uses permitted by copyright law.
5. Material you send us
If you send us material for publication, such as a photograph, article or event listing, please make sure you have the necessary rights and permissions to share it.
You retain ownership of your material. By submitting it expressly for publication, you give us non-exclusive permission to reproduce it and make reasonable editorial or formatting changes for the purpose agreed with you. We will seek your permission for materially different uses.
We may decide not to publish material or remove it where appropriate. Sending us an enquiry or private correspondence does not give us permission to publish it.
6. Events and volunteering
Event dates, activities and arrangements may change, including because of weather, safety concerns or circumstances outside the organiser’s control. Please check the latest event information before attending.
Separate terms may apply to particular events, bookings, volunteering activities, stallholder arrangements or competitions. Those terms will be provided where relevant and will govern that activity.
Listing an event does not necessarily mean that we organise it. Please check the organiser’s details and any participation requirements.
These website terms do not waive participants’ rights or exclude any organiser’s legal responsibilities.
7. Donations and payments
Please read the information on the relevant donation or payment page before making a payment, including the intended recipient, purpose and any applicable conditions.
Where a third-party service processes a payment, its terms and privacy information may also apply to that service.
If you believe you have made a donation in error or an unauthorised payment has occurred, please contact us promptly. We will consider requests in accordance with applicable law and any relevant payment-provider requirements.
These website terms do not replace any separate purchase, booking or fundraising terms.
8. External websites and services
Our website may link to other websites and services, including community groups, social media and payment platforms.
Those services are operated independently and have their own terms and privacy arrangements. We do not control their content or availability. A link does not, by itself, mean that we endorse everything on the linked service.
9. Privacy, cookies and photography
Our Privacy policy explains how we collect and use personal information. Our Cookie notice explains how the website uses cookies and similar technologies and how you can manage your choices.
Information about photography and filming at our events is available on our Governance and Policies page.
Using this website does not, by itself, constitute consent to marketing, optional cookies or the use of your photograph.
10. Availability and security
The website is provided free of charge. We aim to keep it available, but access may sometimes be interrupted for maintenance, technical problems or other reasons. We may change or withdraw parts of the website where reasonably necessary.
We take reasonable steps to protect the website, but cannot guarantee that it will always be secure or free from harmful material. Please use appropriate security measures on your own device.
11. Our responsibility to you
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Nothing affects your statutory rights.
Subject to this, we are not responsible for loss or damage that was not reasonably foreseeable as a consequence of our breach of these terms or failure to exercise reasonable care and skill.
The website is provided for personal and community use. We do not accept liability for business losses arising from its use, including loss of profit, business revenue or business opportunity.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms to reflect changes to the website, our activities or legal requirements. The latest version will appear on this page with an updated date.
Changes apply to future use of the website. They will not retrospectively change the terms of an existing donation, booking or other agreement.
13. Applicable law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.
The courts of England and Wales may hear disputes relating to these terms. If you are a consumer living elsewhere, this does not remove any mandatory legal protections or rights to bring proceedings in your local courts.
14. Questions or concerns
If you have a question about these terms, notice an error or wish to raise a concern about website content, please email secretary@blythehillfields.org.uk.
