Excerpt:
Six in 10 Brits feel there aren’t enough green spaces where they live, while eight in 10 reckon that access to green spaces is a basic human right.
A poll, of 2,000 adults, found 69% believe bringing people together in green spaces can address challenges and inspire a more hopeful future by boosting mental health (59%), combating social isolation (51%), and improving air quality (43%).
Four in 10 believe that facilities like community gardens can help with the cost-of-living crisis because 61% would prefer to grow their own food than rely on food banks.
Sophia Parker is the director of emerging futures at Joseph Rowntree Foundation, which is supporting ‘Seeds of Hope’, an initiative highlighting the role community growing and nature connection can play in addressing these issues.
She said: “In these challenging times, marginalised communities have shown remarkable resilience.”
“Amid widespread feelings of anxiety about the future and concern about the rise of far-right populism, celebrations of amazing people and communities, growing hope and building belief in better futures are exactly what we need right now.”
