Our Green Space for Health programme helps to realise the value of green space for physical and
mental health, both at healthcare sites and in the wider community. Our flagship project, the
NHS Forest, promotes tree planting and woodland creation at NHS sites, supporting and

support NHS sites to develop their greenspace for the benefits of patients, health staff and
communities, while improving biodiversity and combatting climate change. We do this by
encouraging green space enhancements such as meadow areas, vegetable growing, orchards and
therapeutic gardens, as well as supporting the delivery of nature-based interventions for
health.
The Green Space for Health Director will oversee the development of the NHS Forest and other
Green Space for Health projects, delivering the programme strategy. This will include managing
the Green Space for Health team, overseeing the delivery of our funded projects including
budget management, coordinating reports to funders and trustees, and taking a strategic lead on
the development and funding of the Green Space for Health programme in consultation with other
stakeholders. See the full roles and responsibilities below.
