Nature Programmes

Only 13% of the Islington’s land is green space, the second lowest proportion of any local authority in the country. (State of Equalities in Islington- Annual Report 2019: Islington Council, 2019)

That is why our nature programmes are so vitally needed. 

What our participants say 

"It's good for community mental health. I feel serene after I have worked in the garden, it makes me feel confident and happier and energised....It builds my self-confidence"
