NATURAL NEIGHBOURHOODS
Natural Neighbourhoods is a targeted programme that helps young people into employment. It creates jobs and develops a programme of environmental traineeships to support the improvement and protection of local parks and the greenspaces that matter to the surrounding communities.
The programme focuses on disadvantaged areas in the Eastern, Midlands and North regions, where people are experiencing the worst social and economic impacts of the pandemic. In these communities, Covid-19 has worsened health inequalities and led to a significant rise in youth unemployment.
Natural Neighbourhoods encourages existing and new local volunteers to get involved with local projects – working alongside landowners to enhance the quality of accessible green space in towns with high levels of deprivation; country parks in urban fringe areas; and pockets of public space in isolated rural communities.
