Our vision
London’s green spaces are under threat. Despite evidence they keep our citizens healthy, sustain wildlife, and protect against heat and floods caused by climate change, we lose more every year.
CPRE London is a charity that fights back.
CPRE London helps to protect the capital’s green spaces, to strengthen their value for people and planet, and works to enable greater local community involvement in shaping their future.
Our vision is of a city with a network of thriving green spaces which are accessible to all, rich in nature and playing a crucial role in responding to the climate emergency.
We have a formidable reputation for providing evidence-based, passionate campaigns which make a difference. In doing this we draw on our core strengths:
- We are known as London’s leading environmental charity protecting green spaces and promoting regeneration of previously developed sites
- The Greater London Authority, London borough councils and other policy makers recognise us as an authoritative voice in the planning and development of London
- A network of more than 100 community groups trust us to provide critical advice to support their local campaigns
- We directly support more than 500 friends of green space groups through our GoParks programme
- We convene the More Natural Capital Coalition – a coalition of 20 environmental charities working together to identify key green priorities for the capital and advocate jointly for action
Areas of focus include:
- Creating an M25 of trees around the capital
- Establishing 10 New Parks
- Expanding and strengthening London Friends of Green Space Network and GoParks London
These projects are in addition to our core case work supporting local campaigners to stand up to threats to local green spaces and the environmental, health and well-being benefits these bring.
