We are a small but active charity focused on creating inspirational urban parks for both people and wildlife and delivering community projects. We want our green spaces to improve people’s health and wellbeing, reconnect them with nature, and bring diverse communities together. By enhancing our parks, we’re encouraging the public to get outdoors, play, relax and learn about the environment. Parks and green spaces are key to town and city life, by maintaining and enhancing them for people and wildlife we can help sustain these places well into the future.
Our charitable objects are:
We make the majority of our park improvements within the area’s most deprived communities where, to date, we have installed new play equipment and drinking fountains, added wildlife areas and educational information, and opened a community park cafes and a visitors’ centre. We also run activities such as park yoga, nature events, and our ecotherapy programme, Parks in Mind, for those facing mental and physical health challenges, and we carry out national work helping local authorities develop similar charity models to sustain their green spaces in the face of on-going austerity and cutbacks.
