This Act makes reference to the prevention of illness and the improvement in the physical and mental health of the people of Scotland. This webinar explored the links between a healthier environment and all of these charitable purposes.<\/p>\n<p>Ideas were shared on how grounds and estate around health board buildings might be used differently, with potential collaborative projects involving an NHS health board, the linked-NHS charity and other partners.<\/p>\n<p>A follow-up resource is listed below, looking at how one NHS charity in Scotland has explored the health board\u2019s greenspace in more detail, with a view to supporting how the potential of that greenspace is realised as an amenity to improve community health and wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p>The importance of greenspace on physical and mental wellbeing was brought home to everyone during the covid-related lockdowns. In her contribution, Julie Christie set out further examples of the links between human health and environmental wellbeing. Mairi Ferris then considered this in the context of a case study involving outdoor play for children. Playing outdoors is fundamental for children and young people to thrive in health, wellbeing and development.<\/p>\n<p>One statistic highlighted by Julie Christie was from a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kingsfund.org.uk\/projects\/improving-publics-health\/access-green-and-open-spaces-and-role-leisure-services\">study<\/a> which concluded that every 10% increase in exposure to greenspace translates into a reduction of five years in age in terms of expected health problems. For NHS charities in Scotland looking to develop a strand of their strategy which looks at prevention and early intervention, this is certainly worth reflecting on.<\/p>\n<p>The webinar is available
