Improve people’s
wellbeing through
nature connection
We will bring people together with nature, equipping
them with the skills and confidence to improve their
mental health and physical wellbeing.
To do this, we will focus on:
+ Green Gyms
Every year we will deliver Green Gyms in 100 locations, growing to 150 by 2030, allowing people
to be physically active in nature through simple, group-based conservation action, which improves
physical and mental wellbeing.
+ I Can Grow
By 2030, we will help 5,000 people who experience hardship to grow food and plants,
in a nature-friendly way, increasing people’s understanding and experience of how to
improve their health.
+ Conservation volunteers of the future
Over five years, we will inspire 125,000 children and young people, who face barriers
in accessing quality green spaces, to connect with nature and learn how to protect it.
We’ll work on green spaces in urban settings and areas of deprivation,
and with communities who face multiple barriers to inclusion, to have the
greatest societal impact.
Impact statement
+ We will measure the improvement in the wellbeing and health of our
volunteers through baseline and follow up surveys.
+ We will measure the enhanced wellbeing from recreational visits to nature
by assessing the number of visits to our publicly accessible green spaces.
+ We will collect the stories of the children, young people, and
other people who join us, to understand the positive difference our
sessions have made to them.
