BIG: ‘Postcards from the Park’, the UK-wide photography competition celebrating what we love most about our local parks was launched by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) and Big Lottery Fund (BIG), in partnership with parks charity, GreenSpace. The competition which encouraged hundreds of people across the UK to capture what they love about their local park has published details of the winners.
More than 2.5bn visits are made to Britain’s parks each year and HLF & BIG are investing up to £160m to help revitalise these essential green spaces and put them back at the heart of community life. Since 1997, HLF has awarded over £400m to improving parks, while BIG has spent more than £700m on environmental initiatives since 2004.
