After much wrangling finally managed to get back into my account! Lots of good conversations happening but we need to keep the pressure up and on 💚

It's time to take play seriously. Off the back of #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek, our CEO @hegriffiths, reflects on her recent contributions to cross-party inquiries at Westminster, addressing whether the built environment meets children's needs. Read more🔗 fieldsintrust.org/News/it's-time…

Sadly, on Wednesday this week the amendment we were calling for was voted down by just 2 votes🚫 But we won't give up the fight, & will continue to call for the urgent reform needed 💪 Because planning policy really should work to boost green space & improve people's health ✅

The Levelling-Up and Regeneration Bill will be debated in House of Lords next week before returning to the Commons for final amendments. We have been calling for a change to the law which will require local authorities to do more on providing local green space. Read more below:

Lovely to chat to @bbchw this morning about parks, paddling pools and how @FieldsInTrust works to make sure we all have access to green spaces to cool down in💚. Miraculously the only 4 year old heard on the subject was not the one in my house who wanted to have a say!

£350m decline in funding for playgrounds. A depressing read & a reminder from @playengland that Westminster is lagging behind Wales and Scotland in creating a proper strategy for children & play. England’s playgrounds crumble as council budgets fall theguardian.com/environment/20…

It's a huge honour to have been awarded an MBE in the King's Birthday Honours. Thank you to all the staff and judges who have made the @GreenFlagAward such a success, and to whoever nominated me. Still much work to be done to ensure everyone has access to a quality park.

Lovely to be at the House of Lords with our friends @groundworkuk yesterday to celebrate their 40th birthday! So many stories of the life changing impact they have had on countless communities to date and their critical role in some of the greatest challenges ahead.

Back in the summer of 2019, when he was the Parks Minister, @RishiSunak MP wrote a guest blog post for us. A lot has changed since then – but the new PMs fundamental point “Parks do people a world of good” remains as important now as it was then. fieldsintrust.org/ArchivedNews/a…
