Green Community Hubs

Bringing Nature into Everyday Life

Natural England launched the Green Community Hubs project to help communities reconnect with nature through co-created spaces for green activities and social interaction. We were commissioned to develop an animation that clearly communicates the benefits of these hubs, highlighting their role in improving wellbeing, encouraging community engagement, and increasing access to natural environments in everyday settings.

Visualising Community-Led Green Spaces

We produced an engaging animation that highlights the benefits of Green Community Hubs and how they can be created in outdoor spaces, libraries, and residential areas. By contrasting green-rich and nature-deprived environments, the animation effectively illustrates the hubs’ role in improving wellbeing, fostering social connection, and enhancing access to nature across diverse communities.
