Your support keeps our parks open and our volunteer groups running. It also enables us to run events and activities that boost the health and wellbeing of our community.

This matters because:

·         Thousands of people in our city live without outdoor space at home

·         Many are families with young children

·         There is substantial deprivation

·         People’s mental health is significantly improved by visiting green open spaces and volunteering can reduce stress.

We need your help to

• Keep our green spaces open for the community to enjoy responsibly

• Ensure the future of our green spaces

• Run a programme of afterschool and holiday activities for children and young people

• Put on a range of events to boost the health and wellbeing of our community

• Continue to run weekly volunteer groups that bring people together to care for local green spaces

• Give people the skills they need to take on a new career within the horticultural industry
