Support your parks and green spaces
Local authority officers and park volunteers are encouraged to raise the profile of the importance of parks and green spaces by supporting the 'Make Parks a Priority' campaign, by giving new or re-elected members a copy of the 'Blue Sky Green Space' advocacy report or by supporting the development of a Green Places Fund in your area (a concept to source and protect funding coming into the sector).
You can also support our cause by joining the Love Parks Club, donating at Just Giving or giving every time you shop.
