As Lockdown rules start to enable more people to enjoy their parks and green spaces, we all want to ensure that these wonderful places of natural beauty are protected for all to enjoy.  This community collective will share some of the brilliant initiatives running across the UK and show just how, together, we can make a difference for the benefit of all.  Connect with us.


Over the next month and for the remainder of 2020, we will be growing our reach and pull together information and details on all the great work being carried out across communities as they collectively protect their parks.  

This will grow into a massive 'community-led' resource for people with a shared interest and passion for their local parks and green spaces.  

Here's just a few of the ideas and initiatives we will be telling you more about so we can share and get more people actively involved.

Litter picking groups - they do a fantastic job.  We'll connect you with your local group.

Art & Culture Trail.  We'll help you set up your trail and showcase your parks.

Walking clubs. We'll connect you and bring in more friends.

Park angels.  Volunteering with a difference.  We'll tell you more.

Creativity and green spaces collide.  Let's look at how art, music, photography and creativity in all its forms can help promote and protect our parks. 

Parks and mental health.  A walk, ride or jog in the park can do so much for your mental health.

There's something for everyone.

Connect with us and help us protect our parks.

New Covid-19 mural in Digbeth by Gent48





See how a great idea by charity campaigner Paul Cadman quickly turned into a great piece of art by talented street artist Gent48 right in the centre of Digbeth. 


Paul Cadman, who many people will know as an active campaigner for charities across Birmingham, ihas been the inspiration behind the latest piece of street art in Digbeth completed by renowned artist Gent48.

Paul was inspired by an image of a nurse giving the finger to Covid. He was looking for a positive image as opposed to the bad news going out every day.

Paul contacted the renowned artist Gent48 with the proposition of creating a huge mural on the wall of a building in Digbeth.

Gent48 came up with a vibrant message that could be Birmingham's own. Norton's Bar provided the wonderful back drop.
