Green Flag Award - Other Schemes

What is Eligible to Enter?

A number of community-based organisations can apply for the Green Pennant Award including community groups, voluntary organisations and city farms. Sites must be solely managed by the community group although certain aspects of the site’s maintenance may be undertaken by other bodies e.g. the local authority.

Any type of green space is eligible to enter, as long as the site is freely accessible. These may include:

Community Gardens
Parks, recreation grounds and open spaces
Village greens
City farms (as long as they provide a green space for recreation)
Community-managed section of a larger site e.g. walled garden in a formal park
Doorstep greens
Millennium greens
Allotments (as long as they are managed as a community garden)
Sites should be unlocked as much as possible (we understand this may not be every day) and when open should be accessible to all.
