A vibrant red and black inflatable dome sits in a grassy outdoor. The dome has a segmented design with alternating black and red stripes. A white banner reading "PROUDLY SPONSORED BY EMR METAL RECYCLING" is attached to the side of the dome, featuring the EMR logo.

Local metal recycler EMR, which operates two sites in the Tilbury area - EMR East Tilbury and EMR Tilbury Dock - has continued its long-standing support for the Tilbury Riverside Project with a £2,000 donation to support their flagship event, ‘Tilbury’s Picnic in the Park’.

This much-loved annual celebration, set to take place on Wednesday 6 August, offers a day of fun and togetherness for the local community. The event will feature a fair, music performances, face painting, games, a variety of stalls from small businesses as well as local food and drink vendors.

EMR’s donation will go towards funding the stage, entertainment and first aid services – essential elements that ensure the events remains free, accessible and safe for all members of the community.

Darrell Rose, General Manager at EMR Tilbury, said:

“Supporting our local community remains incredibly important to us. We’re proud to continue our long-standing relationship with the Tilbury Riverside Project and to, once again, be part of ‘Tilbury’s Picnic in the Park’.

“This brilliant event brings people together, promotes wellbeing, and gives a real lift to local businesses. It’s a great example of how community spirit can make a positive difference.”

Annie O’Brien of Tilbury Riverside Project said:

“We were thrilled to welcome EMR back as a sponsor for this year’s Picnic in the Park. The continued support means a great deal to us and to the wider Tilbury community.

“Both myself and our Chairman, Les Morgan, would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to EMR for being such a consistent and valued partner.”

The ongoing partnership between EMR and the Tilbury Riverside Project underscores a shared commitment to enriching the lives of local residents.
