• Deliver wide-reaching, inclusive engagement activities across Ealing.
• Build strong relationships with local groups, schools, and partners.
• Facilitate co-design processes for the park’s trail, hubs, and branding.
• Develop creative digital engagement strategies and produce regular newsletters.
• Promote volunteering and community-led initiatives that support sustainability and
  biodiversity.

  diverse communities.
