Trusts & Foundations | Fields in Trust

The support of trusts and foundations makes it possible for us to develop our work with landowners, policymakers and park user groups to ensure parks and green spaces are protected in perpetuity.

How Trusts and Foundations can help

Our Green Spaces for Good strategy is ambitious but our many supporters have demonstrated they believe in our cause and are contributing to the achievement of our key charitable objectives.

Our overall mission is to protect equitable community access to high quality green infrastructure to support health, wellbeing and the planet.

Protect a park or green space within a ten-minute walk of 75% of the UK population;
Develop geospatial analysis expertise that will enable us to showcase the importance of green space for people, place and planet, and supporting our ability to focus on strategic locations across the UK where our protection of green space will have the greatest impact;
Apply our Revaluing Parks and Green Spaces research which quantifies the value of individual parks in terms of the health and wellbeing benefits they provide to the local population;
Identify which local authorities meet the benchmark standards for provision of parks and green space outlined in our Guidance for Outdoor Sport and Play and identify geographical areas with a deficiency of community green space, supporting those landowners with the information they need to make the best decisions;
Provide a digital platform for concerned individuals and community groups to register parks and green spaces under threat and understand what they can do to try and secure their protection.
