Parks and green spaces are arguably the most universal of all our public services. They are used by the entire community, from pre-school children through to retired adults. Green space is a defining part of our local landscape and has something to offer to all.

I'm an individual

Since 1925, Fields in Trust has been protecting land for play, sport and recreation in perpetuity and campaigning for recognition of the community health and wellbeing value of these spaces. It is vital that all neighbourhoods, and particularly children, should enjoy healthy active outdoor recreation within walking distance of home. All local authorities have tough funding decisions to make - and there is a temptation for cash-strapped councils to irreversibly auction off its green space assets; to generate immediate income and remove a longer-term maintenance liability.

Our parks are facing increasingly challenged futures and local authority funding cuts could have a damaging impact on the nation's health. Please consider making a donation, joining as a member, or taking on a fundraising challenge to help us keep them all safe.

 

I'm from an organisation

Landowners and Members have been at the heart of our organisation for over 90 years. We work hard to support their efforts to protect and improve their parks and green spaces. For organisations and local councils, Fields in Trust Membership includes substantial discounts with many well-known outdoor brands, access to expertise and a vote at our AGM.

Companies that work with Fields in Trust demonstrate to their customers and employees that access to green space is important to their values and they are committed to the communities they serve.
