Fields in Trust

Stand With Us: The Fields in Trust Centenary Pledge

Over the last hundred years Fields in Trust has protected thousands of spaces across the country including 4,000 playing fields, 1500 playgrounds and 1200 parks. That’s 9 million people who will always have a place to play within a 10-minute walk of home.

But we need to do more. We must protect our parks and playing fields before it is too late. The continued loss of these spaces will impact the most disadvantaged in our society who already have the least access to green space.

If we don’t protect these spaces now then where will future generations run, walk and play?

Why Your Pledge Matters

  • Green spaces are more than amenities – they're necessities
  • Access to parks can save the NHS £111 million annually
  • Green spaces provide over £34 billion in health and wellbeing benefits each year
  • Children with access to green space show improved academic performance
  • Communities with quality parks report stronger social bonds and reduced isolation
  • Once lost to development, these spaces are gone forever

The green spaces we save today will outlive us all. That's what makes this work so meaningful – and so urgent.

Thank you for standing with us.
