Urban Green Header 1

@myurbangreen is a campaign by Groundwork and Marks & Spencer to help local communities shape the future development, maintenance and management of their local green spaces

Groundwork green space co-ordinators, funded by M&S, will give community groups the tools they need to act on local issues, recruit volunteers and design and deliver activities and events to raise the profile of their work.

Urban Side Ban 1Each green space co-ordinator will also create ‘virtual communities’ on Twitter that are tied into real communities and will connect volunteers and community groups across the UK with each other. 

During the project, @myurbangreen will:

  • Deliver more than 850 community green space activities and events
  • Recruit more than 5,000 volunteers
  • Reach 135,000 people in the wider community
  • Help 300 community groups to improve their ability to support local green space

@myurbangreen builds on the success of Greener Living Spaces – a network of 100 dynamic new or improved green spaces created by Groundwork and M&S at the heart of communities across the country.
