Parks bodies pin their hopes on charity: GreenSpace is set to follow the Royal Parks with a bid for charity status

摘要

Turning to charity and the lottery for funds is the way ahead for green space organisations, two annual reports published this week reveal. The GreenSpace and Royal Parks reports show, at a time when the public space issue has never been so high on the political agenda, that money for new projects is increasingly likely to come from donated cash, rather than from government handouts. Parks campaigning body GreenSpace and the Royal Parks see the public responding more sympathetically to fundraising appeals by using charitable status rather than working as a limited company or government agency.
