Save a Space for Me - your chance to shape Diamond Jubilee legacy

19th October 2011

Yesterday launched the start of your chance to protect outdoor spaces near you.  Fields In Trust launched the Save a Space for Me campaign with events in London and Cardiff and screened a special video message from our Patron The Duke of Cambridge.

For the next 4 weeks you can get involved in permanently protecting 2012 parks, playing fields and playgrounds as part of the next phase of The Queen Elizabeth II Fields Challenge to mark HM The Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Kate Humble and Olympic silver medallist Roger Black along with local school children were on hand in Charlton Park, Greenwich along with our principal partner Asda to show their support for the Challenge.  

In Cardiff Non Evans MBE visited Penarth Athletic Fields one of the 7 sites nominated by the Vale of Glamorgan Council.

As well as being safeguarded for future generations Queen Elizabeth II Fields in England and Wales can apply for a grant from the £1 million SITA Trust fund to make these spaces even better.
