As well as the Green Flag Award, the Scheme also offers the Green Flag Community Award. This is aimed at sites that are managed by volunteers, or by community groups or organisations made up of volunteers. Sites must be solely managed by the community group – this means that all decisions, including financial ones, regarding the site are made by the organisation responsible for its management and maintenance – although certain aspects of the site’s maintenance may be undertaken by other bodies, for example the local authority. What is eligible to enter? Any type of green space is eligible to enter, as long as the site is freely accessible. Often, applications are received from: + Community Gardens + Parks, recreation grounds and open spaces + Village greens + Community-managed section of a larger site e.g. walled garden in a formal park + Churchyards + Woodlands + Pocket Parks + Allotments (as long as they are managed as a community garden) What are the judges looking for? Every green space will be judged on its own merit by an independent judge. An Award will be given to any green space that reaches the Green Flag Award standard. To ensure that your green space stands the best chance of receiving an Award, you may like to consider the issues that our judges will be looking for:
