Year 1 review of Learning in Open Spaces

Report of the Director of Open Spaces.

 

Minutes:

Members noted that Green Spaces, Learning Places, the Open Spaces Department’s new innovative learning programme, was launched in April 2016 and has reached over 45,000 children, young people and adults in the first year of delivery. This programme represents a key method for the City of London to contribute to the health and wellbeing of residents of some of London’s most deprived communities through connecting them more powerfully to their local green spaces.

The programme has achieved overwhelming success as highlighted in the first year

evaluation report. However, the future of the project remains at risk due

to uncertainty over the long term funding arrangements for the core areas of the

work.

 

Resolved – that Member received the report.
