The People’s Patch celebrates Green Flag Community Award success

The People’s Patch has been recognised with a prestigious Green Flag Community Award, celebrating the dedication and commitment of the volunteers, community members and partners who have worked together to create and care for this valued local green space.

The award, delivered by the Green Flag Award scheme, recognises community spaces that are safe, welcoming and well managed, highlighting the vital role they play in supporting health and wellbeing, encouraging biodiversity and bringing people together.

The achievement is a testament to the passion and hard work of everyone involved in developing and maintaining The People’s Patch. Through collaboration and community action, the space has become a place where people can grow, connect and thrive.

As Paul Todd MBE, Green Flag Award Manager at Keep Britain Tidy, said:

“As we celebrate 30 years of the Green Flag Award, we want every community to have access to green spaces like this that are safe, welcoming and maintained to a high standard.”

The People’s Patch demonstrates the positive impact that can be achieved when communities come together to transform and care for local environments. The award recognises not only the space itself, but also the people behind it — the volunteers, partners and local residents whose time, enthusiasm and dedication continue to make a lasting difference.
