Our people
We’re lucky to work with a range of dedicated, dynamic and determined individuals who all care about parks and green spaces.
Our Patron
We are delighted to have the active support of our Patron HRH The Prince of Wales who shares our commitment to creating a better future for parks and green spaces, to help people and nature thrive. HRH The Prince of Wales was the Patron of our Diamond Jubilee Appeal leading the efforts to secure a legacy of over 1200 protected spaces as a tribute to HM The Queen. In 2013, he took over the role of President from his grandfather HRH The Duke of Edinburgh until becoming Patron in 2024, succeeding Her Majesty the late Queen Elizabeth II who was Patron for an incredible 70 years.
Few resources hold the potential to impact so positively on a wide range of social issues as parks and green spaces. By protecting these spaces in perpetuity Fields in Trust works to ensure that our children and grandchildren will have places to run, move, breathe and play.
