The North Ayrshire Green Health Partnership (NAGHP), North Ayrshire Community Planning Partnership and Greenspace Scotland are pleased to share the North Ayrshire Green Health Strategic Framework 2024-2030, serving as a legacy for the Partnership and a vision for the future.
The Framework defines the future of green health in North Ayrshire. By unifying local and national learning, it sets out key principles and goals for integrating green health activities into North Ayrshire policy and practice ensuring continued green health action that benefits the people of North Ayrshire. It also identifies the key achievements of the North Ayrshire Green Health Partnership, outlines the current policy context and highlights relevant evidence supporting green health activity.
Background
Greenspace Scotland worked closely with the North Ayrshire Green Health Partnership Steering Group, Community Planning Partners, The Conservation Volunteers (TCV) and other stakeholders. The Framework was informed by research and consultation around the impact of the North Ayrshire Green Health Partnership (NAGHP). The work was commissioned at the point when the pilot NAGHP was coming to an end. It was one of four Green Health Partnerships in Scotland within the Our Natural Health Service (ONHS) programme – a national, cross government initiative led by NatureScot.
There has been a substantial amount of work to date enhancing delivery and promoting green health activity in North Ayrshire from the grassroots and embedding green health within existing systems and services. The Annexes of the Framework cover this in more detail along with a Policy and Evidence Review.
