Developing a Parks4Life Fund for Scotland's parks

Scotland’s parks are well-used and much loved. We want to ensure they continue to be cherished and nurtured so that we hand them on in good heart for our children and grandchildren to enjoy. The Scottish Parks4Life Fund is an easy and simple way for everyone who uses and loves Scotland’s parks to make a donation, large or small, to support our treasured parks.

This project will develop a £1million Parks4Life endowment fund for Scotland’s parks.  It is the first step towards our ambition for a multi-million fund which will help to keep Scotland’s parks in good heart for future generations to enjoy. We are delighted to have received a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to kick-start the development of the Parks4Life Fund for Scotland’s Parks.

Over the next 3 years, the Heritage Fund grant of £500,000 will be matched with donations from individuals, businesses and trusts to raise that first magic million. The funds will be invested to provide an endowment to support Scotland’s parks in perpetuity.

Please can you help us develop the Scotland Parks4Life Fund

Not everyone enjoys easy access to quality greenspace, and across Scotland parks are feeling the pinch. Parks need your help to care for them.

Parks4Life is Scotland’s first ever fund for parks and greenspaces. It provides an easy way for all of us to show how much we love our parks. Managed by greenspace scotland, it aims to raise £1million this year to help support Scotland’s parks with a sustainable fund for the future.

We want to ensure our precious parks continue to be cherished and nurtured so that we hand them on in good heart for our children and grandchildren to enjoy. With your support, we can help our communities bring their parks to life and make the best of our parks for everyone to enjoy now and in the future.
