From London National Park City
We’re excited to reveal that London National Park City has launched an interactive volunteer map and directory, highlighting volunteering opportunities across the city's 32 boroughs. The map - which has been co-created with the input of over 100 individuals and organisations (many in the charity space) - is still under development, and will receive regular updates and evolve over time.
| Explore the map here |
Volunteering is a crucial accelerator in the National Park City movement and London's transition to becoming a greener, healthier, wilder city. The map aims to serve as a go-to resource for those seeking to give back to local initiatives, fostering community engagement and supporting the important work of not-for-profit organisations across London.
We invite you to take a moment to explore the map and encourage you to share it with your network. The page includes a form to submit any new volunteering opportunities you may have.
If you take up a volunteer placement found via the map we’d love you to share your experience with us by tagging us on our socials or dropping us a line at hello@nationalparkcity.org.

Should have seen how NPC glazed over regarding engaging with protection of any existing parks in the South Kilburn Growth Area now tenanted towers 51 metre tall building zone with no tenanted towers 51 metre tall buildings masterplan.
Hopefully Labour can change the right and wrong places for green space protection culture at NPC.
Direct nature access too for where tenanted towers population growth is being zoned in/ use the S106 money as Hammersmith and Fulham does. The horses can wait for more 91 metre bridges from woodlands to commons until the Tories get back into power.
What a fantastic initiative! 🌱 It’s inspiring to see London National Park City creating such a valuable resource for volunteers. The interactive map is a brilliant way to connect people with local green projects and initiatives, fostering community spirit while contributing to a more sustainable city. I’m excited to explore the opportunities and will definitely share this with my network! Thank you for your hard work in making London greener and healthier. Looking forward to hearing about the positive impact this will have on our communities! 💚
Would never question that London National Park City is about zones where communities London is being grown, nourished, pandemic resilience built, sustained and green transitioned with love.
Would question however and did question London National Park City as to why green investment renewed in 2010 Granville Road Pocket Park as part of a population growth areas masterplan, has its surrounding not-to-be-community locked out of using it by persons unknown? There seems to be new temporary building development on this park too now to secure full 'meanwhile' brown land status for developers to build on this part of LNPC soon.
London community is zoned. How can the Granville Road community green volunteer, its a car-free housing zone, if it is its locked out of its green space fragment of the LNPC for developer colonist green?
That LNPC should be inclusive, equitable and protective of its entire LNPC is all I am saying. Public heath flood resilience parks were built after 1900. These post1900 parks, just like in 2010 at Granville were not about spending public money to build brownfield site opportunities..
Sorry, should have read developer colonist greed.
Imagine if developers in tenant towers car-free housing growth zones were colonists green, rather than pave and car it all!
Colonists green was the way the 50's to 70's flood though not politician resilient architect designed South Kilburn Estate was planned and built.
