About Us
We raise funds and awareness to support Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole’s parks and open spaces for now and future generations.
What we do
We are a small but perfectly formed independent charity devoted to enhancing Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole’s parks and green spaces for everyone to enjoy. Parks and green spaces breathe life into our towns providing our communities with precious spaces to get together, exercise and play

Parks and green spaces are key to city life, by enhancing them for people and wildlife we can help sustain these beautiful places well into the future.
We are an independent charitable organisation founded in January 2015. Although BCP Council has overall responsibility to maintain and develop the conurbation’s parks we work alongside them with the aim to raise much needed funds for improvement and enhancements above what the council provide. Further information about our partnership with BCP Council can be found on this document.
What do we support?
We get our teeth into the following key themes:
• Conservation and wildlife
• Health and wellbeing
• Community growing
• Reducing social isolation
• Support for local community groups
These are all vitally important to enhance our parks and further attract residents and visitors to enjoy them.
