Climate crisis and local authority funding challenges mean that London's green spaces have simultaneously never been more important but also most at risk from neglect. Meanwhile a small army of volunteers stands ready in one of London's c.900 'Friends Groups' who help maintain, improve and promote local green spaces for the good of their communities. These groups benefit enormously from networking, training and direct provision of plants that help improve these green spaces.

We support London's Friends of Green Spaces with network events, training, ad hoc support and thematic campaigns like 'hedgerow heroes' where we work with community groups to restore and plant much-needed urban hedgerows. We also provide a digital platform that helps friends groups recruit more volunteers and promote their local parks so that the entire community benefits. Working in partnership with many of London's 32 boroughs and accessibility champions ensures the work benefits everyone.
