Fields in Trust champions and supports our parks and green spaces by protecting them for people to enjoy in perpetuity. Because once green spaces are lost, they are lost forever.

We are the only UK-wide charity legally protecting parks and green spaces in perpetuity. This protection guarantees these vulnerable spaces are kept for future generations. Owners and managers of parks and green spaces face significant challenges; pressure on local authority budgets and the need for new housing are resulting in an increasingly uncertain position for this non-statutory service.

Our research demonstrates that parks and green spaces are not simply nice to have; they are a necessity for healthy, happy communities, positively impacting on a range of key wellbeing issues from physical and mental health to social cohesion.

Fields in Trust have received funding from the London Marathon Charitable Trust.
