Our Vision – Everyone in Edinburgh & the Lothians has access to quality greenspaces, to help to support their health & wellbeing

ELGT aims to engage with communities and partners to enable greenspaces to be more accessible, climate resilient and biodiverse. Take a look at our latest Strategy 

Following the EIJB meeting on 1 November the board have agreed to postpone the planned grant cuts to 64 organisations across Edinburgh until end of March 2025. ELGT will be working with other stakeholders to promote the prevention and early intervention benefits that 3rd sector provide to the citizens of Edinburgh and explore mechanisms to secure continued funding for this valuable work. In the meantime, our dedicated staff will continue to deliver our planned programmes of activity with our participants that help address health and social inequalities and improve their mental health and wellbeing.

There are lots of opportunities to participate through the award winning Out & About programme and the Thrive Collective

There are lots of great parks and woodlands in Edinburgh and Lothians so why not visit some including the awarding winning Craigmillar Castle Park

You can also be kept up to date through our social media pages on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

If there is anything else you think we could do, or if you would like to discuss things further, then please do not hesitate to get in touch through our contact page.

Since 1991 we have been working to improve greenspaces for the benefit of people through practical environmental and educational projects in partnership with local communities and health-focused initiatives as a way to support more people getting outdoors. Our projects are designed to benefit people, wildlife, landscape and heritage and to help connect people with their natural environment.

By providing a comprehensive portfolio of environmental project development, management and fundraising services, we help ensure everyone has an equal opportunity to enjoy their natural environment.
