Sunnybank Community Green Gym

Creating Healthier Communities
A BTCV Officer will work with local partners to develop the Sunnybank Community Green Gym. We will deliver weekly Green Gym sessions, which will promote the health and wellbeing of participants by engaging them in practical environmental conservation and horticultural activity.

Creating a Healthier Environment
The Green Gym will deliver diverse nature conservation activities and contribute to an enhanced natural environment within an urban setting by creating and improving habitats as well as improving biodiversity. The Green Gym will also contribute to local carbon offsetting projects such as tree planting and local food growing to minimise the community’s carbon footprint.

The project will also improve the living environment by:
• Supporting community spirit
• Creating a feeling of ownership
• Supporting the development of a feeling of belonging
• Contributing to the creation of new social networks
