A view from our new trustees - Tara-Jane Sutcliffe has joined us as a Trustee:

“With unparalleled opportunity to drive through a post-pandemic green recovery this is a critical time to make a strategic contribution to the vision of a greener London!”

Help us create #TenNewParks for London! CPRE London’s Head of Campaigns says:

“The sites we have identified are frequently subject to a cycle of decline, but they could provide benefits for the community .. The pandemic has shown us just how important access to green space is!"
