UPDATE: Project report now available here.
Keep Britain Tidy and the Green Flag Award are working with the University of Leeds and the Suzy Lamplugh Trust to support a new campaign: Safer Parks: Stand Up Against Street Harassment.
This new campaign, which initially ran 17 September to 15 October 2025, aims to create a community of active bystanders and make our parks safer and more inclusive for everyone.
We invite you to get involved and help us make a real difference.
