The NHS Tayside Charitable Foundation is proud to support the groundbreaking Playful Green Planet program, an initiative that aims to transform how children connect with nature and community through outdoor creative play. This innovative project is being spearheaded by the RSA in partnership with the Eden Project and Bath Spa University.
The Importance of Nature Connection
In today’s increasingly urbanized world, children are often disconnected from the natural environment. This lack of connection can have negative impacts on their physical and mental health. The Playful Green Planet program seeks to address this issue by creating vibrant, nature-based play spaces in urban and economically disadvantaged areas.
How the Program Works
The program involves identifying suitable areas of land and transforming them into ecologically thriving outdoor playrooms and classrooms. These spaces will be designed to foster children’s creativity, social activism, and connection to nature.
NHS Tayside Charitable Foundation’s Role
The NHS Tayside Charitable Foundation is proud to contribute to this important initiative. Our funding will help to support the development and implementation of the Playful Green Planet program, ensuring that children in our community have access to these valuable outdoor learning experiences.
Benefits for Children

- Improved physical health
