Green Flag Award

The Victorian philanthropists who had the vision to create the world's first public parks understood the importance of green space for the health and wellbeing of society.

Access to good quality green space is vital if we are to tackle some of the challenges that we face, including the growing problem of obesity, the rise in mental health issues and the feelings of being disconnected from the communities in which we live.

Research shows that having well-managed, accessible green space contributes to tackling many of these issues.
