About us

Our vision

Our vision is to provide a united voice dedicated to promoting, advocating and lobbying for the regeneration and sustainable future of quality green spaces throughout the South East.

The Forum’s objectives are broad and can be achieved both through the work of the membership and the influence the Forum can impress on other organisations. Four broad areas of work include advice to members, advocacy, reaching out to park users and cross boundary partnership working.

Our story so far

Discussions regarding GreenSpace South East initially took place between its founding partners Bracknell Forest Borough Council’s Helen Tranter (Head of Culture & Visual Environment) and GreenSpace.

A meeting was held with 40 local authorities in the region in Bracknell in March 2006, along with representation from the Countryside Agency. This meeting agreed to establish a Steering Group to take forward the business development of the Forum. A core group of supporters emerged, and they hope to respond to the growing national and regional agenda for parks by redirecting its focus onto strategic issues and expanding to the South East region as a whole.
