GroundsWell Community Reporter Training

About the project

GroundsWell is a research project bringing together communities, researchers and decision-makers to understand how urban green and blue spaces – like parks, gardens, rivers and canals – can play a role in reducing health inequalities.

As part of this work, GroundsWell publishes a community-led magazine that gives space to the voices of people directly involved in grassroots projects.

The upcoming issue will be the third magazine in the series, building on the stories and voices featured in previous editions.

You can read Issue 1 here and Issue 2 here.
