Project Title
Groundswell - Understanding the impact of green and blue spaces on mental health
Lay summary
This project will look at how changes in parks and water areas in towns and cities can help people use them more and feel healthier. These places are called green spaces (areas with grass, trees, and plants) and blue spaces (places with water like lakes, rivers, or fountains). The team will check people’s health now, then see what happens after making changes to encourage more people to visit these spaces. The results will help Liverpool City Council decide how to make parks and water areas better for everyone’s health.
Public benefit statement
This project will help councils make parks and water areas better for everyone. It will also help them plan fun events so more people, including those who don’t usually visit, can enjoy these spaces. This is important because spending time in green spaces (like parks) and blue spaces (like rivers or lakes) can make people healthier and lower the risk of illnesses.
