🌳A BIG STEP FORWARD FOR PROTECT OUR PARKS PORTSMOUTH! 🌳

Today was a really positive and productive day for our Protect Our Parks Portsmouth team as we had the pleasure of meeting with Portsmouth’s Lord Mayor! 👏

We had some fantastic discussions about who we are as a group, what we’ve achieved so far, and most importantly, how we move forward together to make a real difference to our parks and open spaces across Portsmouth. 💚

We discussed the opportunities for closer collaboration directly with Portsmouth City Council, how we can work together more effectively, and what equipment, supplies and support might be available to help our volunteers continue the work they do.

One of the most encouraging things to hear was that the Lord Mayor already knew about our group and the work we’ve been doing! 🙌

He was very positive about our aims, and it was clear that we all want the same thing: more eyes and ears out across our parks, helping to keep them safe, clean, tidy and enjoyable for everyone.

🌿 We are a fully volunteer-run group.
💪 We give our own time, effort and commitment.
👀 We get out there, identify problems and report issues.
🤝 And we want to build positive relationships that help deliver real results for our communities.

Today’s meeting was another encouraging step in the right direction, and we look forward to seeing how we can build on these discussions and work more closely together in the future.

We’re here for the parks, we’re here for the people, and we’re here to make a difference! 💚🌳

A massive thank you to the Lord Mayor for taking the time to meet with us and for his positive approach to what we are trying to achieve.

📢 Protect Our Parks Portsmouth is growing, our voice is being heard, and we’re looking forward to what comes next!

💚🌳 OUR PARKS. OUR COMMUNITY. OUR RESPONSIBILITY. 🌳💚

🌳 PROTECT OUR PARKS PORTSMOUTH — LOOKING TO THE FUTURE 🌳

Protect Our Parks Portsmouth is pleased to announce that our team has been invited to meet with the Lord Mayor of Portsmouth this Wednesday to discuss our group, the work we have undertaken to date, and our aspirations for the future.

This invitation represents an important opportunity for our team to explain who we are, what we stand for, and the contribution we continue to make towards protecting and improving the parks, green spaces and public areas enjoyed by communities across Portsmouth.

As a completely volunteer-run and self-funded group, our members give up their own time and resources to visit parks and open spaces across the city, identify and report issues, raise awareness of local concerns, and encourage greater care and respect for our shared environment.

Over the past year, we have worked hard to establish ourselves as a community group committed to making a positive difference. Through our regular patrols, community involvement and campaigns, we aim to help ensure that Portsmouth’s parks and open spaces remain safe, clean, welcoming and accessible for everyone.

Wednesday’s meeting will provide an opportunity to reflect on what we have achieved, discuss the challenges facing our public spaces, and share our ambitions for the future.

We approach this meeting with positivity and a genuine desire to work constructively with those who share an interest in protecting Portsmouth’s environment for the benefit of residents and future generations.

We are incredibly proud of our volunteers and grateful to everyone who has supported our work. Every member, every supporter and every resident who raises a concern contributes to the purpose behind our group.

Our commitment remains the same: to speak up for our parks, support our communities and help protect the green spaces that make Portsmouth such a special place to live.

We look forward to Wednesday’s meeting and to discussing how we can continue to make a positive difference.

Catching the final few light hours tonight in College Park, lovely to welcome a few new faces tonight too, the park itself was very tidy but we still managed a good four/five bags of rubbish collected from right underneath the undergrowth, so sweet of two very bright little girls coming over to say what a great job and ‘thank you’ for what we are doing and also many locals saying hello and commenting here too - makes it all worth it too, it really does 🤗

We care about our city, we always have, we always will 🤝😉

🍂 WINTER IS CLOSING IN — BUT PROTECT OUR PARKS PORTSMOUTH KEEPS ROLLING! 🌳💪

As the nights draw in and winter approaches, **Protect Our Parks Portsmouth ** are still out there doing what we love — getting out into the parks, green spaces and open areas across our city. 🌿🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

We regularly visit different locations, checking on the condition of our parks and reporting issues we come across directly through the MyPortsmouth app.

And the best part? We’re completely volunteer-run. 🙌

We pay our own subscriptions, provide our own equipment and give up our own time because we genuinely care about the city we live in.

We’ve got some fantastic people involved in our group, and we’re always happy to welcome new members. Whether you can join us regularly or just occasionally, you’re more than welcome. 👋

🌳 We see it.
📱 We report it.
💪 We keep pushing for better.
❤️ Because we care about our parks and open spaces.

Protect Our Parks Portsmouth — volunteers making a difference, one park at a time.
