Donate to Plymouth parks and greenspaces

The taste of fresh air

Help us do more for nature in the city!

Plymouth City Council are asking for support to help us create more wildflower areas across the city to help encourage more insects and give more people access to nature.

Parks and greenspaces have been a lifeline for a lot of people in the city of Plymouth over the last few months. Giving us spaces to socialise, relax, play, exercise, take a breath, contemplate, and be in nature providing us with essential spaces for our wellbeing. 

Pledge your support today and help us create a more vibrant, environmentally diverse Plymouth for all who live here.

Donate today and be in with a chance of winning a drink and a cake for four people.

That Moment of Peace

Get involved, visit and volunteer to support your local parks 

If you can't donate there are other ways you can help your local spaces.

Visiting your local spaces, engaging in what they have to offer can really help us to ensure parks and greenspaces are here for us in the future. Going on a nature walk, taking your litter home, supporting local businesses in parks, having a picnic in the park.

Or why not get involved by helping to care for your local spaces there are lots of volunteering opportunities across the city. Find out more by visiting our Volunteer in nature and parks page.

Tell us your pledge of support by posting to our social media pages and using #myparkspledge and tag us in @NaturePlymouth. You will be entered in to a draw to win coffee and cake for two at a park cafe.

Benefits of parks and greenspaces to Plymouth

Did you know:

  • Nationally 1 in 8 people do not have access to a private or shared garden, meaning that access to parks and greenspaces is hugely important.
  • Being in nature and parks is proven to support improved health and wellbeing, giving you the space and time to breath. 
  • Accessing parks and greenspaces for your health and save the NSH nearly £111m a year nationally from reduced visits. 
  • Parks and greenspaces provide essential services for us and wildlife, supporting us to combat climate change and help save the environment. 
  • 1/3 of all the food crops that we grow need insects to pollinate them. 87% of all our plants are pollinated by animals - and most of this is delivered by insects

Campaign Background Information 

This campaign is part of the Future Parks Accelerator project which includes 8 cities across the country. To find out more about the project in Plymouth visit the Plymouth GEMS page. 

7 of those cities are taking part in this fundraising campaign to see if we can drive up support and funds to support parks and greenspaces.

All branding and artwork for this campaign has been created by Jonathan Lettmann, a recent Architecture graduate at the University of Plymouth. The branding and artwork was inspired by some work Joni did for his degree and in partnership with Plymouth City Council, looking at parks and greenspace and the value these have to the environment and people.

Joni donated his time and expertise to the campaign and we are very grateful for his support
