This is reflected in a wide range of policies across Government including the Childhood Obesity Strategy; Everybody Active, Every Day; Loneliness Strategy; Clean Air Strategy; Sporting Future; Prevention is Better than Cure; Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy; 5-year Forward View for Mental Health; Integrated Communities Action Plan; and is one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Fields in Trust has shown that frequent personal use of parks and green spaces is worth over £30 billion a year to the UK population. That value translates into estimated savings for the NHS of at least £100 million a year from fewer GP visits.
