Green spaces could save tax payers millions of pounds in health and social care costs, startling new research carried out in East Anglia has revealed.
It found remarkable improvements in wellbeing among people facing conditions ranging from long-term health problems, addiction or mental health problems simply by providing structured nature-based programmes such as through access to green space and woodlands.
The study by University of Essex with the
Green Light Trust, based at Lawshall, near Bury St Edmunds, found that vulnerable and disadvantaged adults taking part in programmes run by the charity in year one resulted in a 28% reduction in GP appointments and a 24% fall in visits to hospital accident and emergency departments.
