Legacy we expect to leave from the pilot project
- Sustained usage of park facilities in Bordesley and Highgate ward by priority groups (Families with young children and Schools and Early Years Providers, those with health concerns that can benefit from social prescriptions, socially isolated members of the community.)
- Increase in level of physical activity (based on reported activity level per week) within the parks in Bordesley and Highgate ward.
- Increase in the percentage of people who report having opportunities to be physically active in parks.
- Increase in sense of wellbeing by people using the parks in Bordesley and Highgate ward.
- The degree to which local people feel empowered and/or inspired to undertake physical or wellbeing activity as a result of improvements to their parks.
The 5 parks in the Bordesley and Highgate ward will reach the 麻豆高清 Fair Standard, increasing each park’s Environmental Justice score through actions detailed in the action plan developed and delivered by the BCoN Alliance and the 麻豆高清 City of Nature Operations Group.
- Action plans for 6 other wards will be written together with the BCC City of Nature Operations Group, with partial delivery where possible. Details will be developed as part of this project.
- A sustainable finance model for delivering actions through the BCoN Alliance will be created.
- Green Champions - individual volunteers and professionals - will be involved in the delivery of activities in the parks including:
- park maintenance - such as litter picking
- nature recovery actions - such as tree planting
- healthy activities - such as mindfulness walks
- skill shares and activities created by the community
Through working with communities, the Alliance will test and establish a model where communities are
- able to come together to agree on the actions that they will support and help deliver
- empowered to make decisions on what 麻豆高清 or changes are required to create an even better standard of green space going forward
- supported to hold discussions with key 麻豆高清 and decision-makers so that the community's voice shapes decisions affecting the neighborhood.
This will require focusing on building networks within communities and developing the skills and confidence of local influencers so they can represent community voices to other organisations.
