A huge thank you to our amazing partners, volunteers, delegates, supporters and everyone that took part in our programmes in 2020! It wasn’t the year that any of us expected, and as a partnership we’ve tried new programmes, new formats, new ways of working – and that was just the first few months! However, what stood out for us most this year was the way that nature took the spotlight, and became more important than ever to all of us.
However there is still much work to be done, to level up access to green space, and involve more people with more places. So we very much hope to see you all next year, either in person or online, for our ground-breaking hybrid programme of digital experiences, outdoor activities and special events that will let us all celebrate and take action for nature together – whatever 2021 throws at us!
