Thrive Brown to Green

Greenspace improvement projects to NHS estate

The Thrive Edinburgh’s ‘Brown into Green’ project aims to transform places and spaces identified by health & social care staff across different settings into more nurturing environments to support staff wellbeing. Working in partnership with Cyrenians we have identified a number of sites across Edinburgh which include the following;

Access Place, Old Town

A shared garden space for staff and service users.

Castle Crags Home, Craigmillar

An outdoor seating area for staff.

Funded by: NHS Lothian, Edinburgh Health & Social Care Partnership

Outputs:

  • Create Designs for each space
  • Provide seating
  • Install Planters and Trees

Outcomes:

  • Improve the appearance of urban greenspaces
  • Encourage people to use greenspaces to improve health and wellbeing
