In 2020 Parks Community UK, with support from NESTA (the UK’s Innovation Foundation for social good), created a free ‘Better Friends’ Strength Checker tool which went live in September 2020. If you haven’t tried it then click here to give it a go.
The free online tool has proved very popular, it allows Friends of Parks and green space groups to gauge or audit themselves and discover their strengths and areas for potential improvement.
The NFPGS took a look at the submissions to discover any key trends and findings so we can learn more about the current state of Friends groups and our parks and green spaces.
