Hi John

Whether you live in a rural hamlet or an inner-city apartment, everyone needs a space to breathe. Our Green Belt is a vital doorstep into the countryside for 30 million people [1]. 

But now, with an era-defining general election looming, we urgently need your help. 

For decades, our countryside next door has been being eroded by big developers motivated purely by profit, taking nature, fresh air and the space to breathe further and further away from millions of people.  

Meanwhile, opportunities to enhance and improve the Green Belt for those that rely on it have gone almost completely untapped. 

This party conference season we have one of the biggest opportunities to influence election manifestos, so it is vital that we act now to secure the policies we need that we need to protect and enhance our countryside next door, not take it away. 

We’re gearing up for a major campaign to put the Green Belt high up the political agenda, but we need your help.

Will you donate today to fund our work to ensure politicians make the right plans for our countryside next door? 

Everyone needs the countryside and nature. With your support we can persuade politicians that we should be protecting, enhancing, and expanding our precious spaces to breathe for the millions of people that rely on them, not letting them be tarmacked over in the name of profit.  

Can you donate now so that we can be at the heart of the conversations to influence the manifesto of the next government? 

From preventing destructive fracking, to securing new commitments to restore our hedgerows, and influencing the government’s planning reforms, our award-winning campaigns show what we can achieve together. 

For the 30 million people who rely on our Green Belt, it’s time to come together to fight for the future of our countryside next door.  

Thank you for your support.  

Chris
