According to the national charity, parks and green spaces in the UK are under threat and it is part of its role to help champion, support and most importantly, protect our parks so that we can enjoy them.

Whilst this is the charity’s mission, it is also up to us as the public enjoying these green spaces and parks to stem this cycle of disappearance and decline.

During warm weather like the one we are experiencing at the moment, parks and green spaces are especially important to help people stay physically and mentally healthy.
