Urban Green Newcastle is a pioneering, independent charity established in collaboation with the local council in 2019. We are responsible for the management and upkeep of 33 parks and over 60 allotments across the city, as well as nearly 60 buildings within the estate.
We are committed to preserving and breathing new life into Newcastle’s green spaces. With a small but dedicated team, our vision is to encourage more people to enjoy and benefit from the beautiful, open spaces on our doorstep. We aim to create parks and allotments for us all to be proud of which are safe, welcoming, and provide a great environment for both people and nature to thrive.
We strive for Newcastle’s parks to be safe and welcoming for everyone to enjoy, so we work closely with Newcastle City Council and a wide range of partner organisation to try and reach solutions to these challenges in a way that supports and engages all of those who use the spaces. We are also grateful to work with Friends of Groups, local communities and the people of Newcastle to help make the city’s parks places to be proud of, whether that’s through a range of volunteering opportunities or public reports of unusual activity across the estate.
