Green Social Prescribing (GSP) offers the opportunity to link the health benefits of parks to those who would most gain by spending time in a park.

Nottingham’s FPA project is piloting Green Social Prescribing in the city. Sophia Beswick tells us more.

Parks are a crucial part of the urban infrastructure for health provision and provide the context for residents to make healthier decisions by default​.

Parks for Health is a major programme to transform the parks and green spaces in Camden & Islington for now and future generations. Our parks will change from being passive enablers of physical and mental health outcomes to places that have a central role in reducing health inequalities, increasing social cohesion, reducing social isolation, increasing physical health, mental health and well-being.
