Key Responsibilities:
Our aims for this year:
Ensure the environmental sector is actively supported and represented within the evolving public health agenda in the Tees Valley. This will include articulating five key evidence bases that demonstrate how access to, and engagement with, nature improves health and wellbeing outcomes.
Identify, document, and promote case studies and exemplar projects from across the Tees Valley that demonstrate the positive impact of nature-based interventions on health and wellbeing. These will be compiled into accessible, evidence-informed materials to influence both policy and practice.
Strengthen communication and coordination across key regional initiatives — particularly TUNN (Tees Urban Nature Network) and GCNE (Green Communities North East). Regular updates will be shared via email and through existing networks to ensure alignment and maximise collective impact.
