The UK’s parks save the NHS more than £111m a year, according to a report. Regular users of parks and green spaces are likely to be healthier and make fewer visits to their GP, research by Fields in Trust suggests.

The charity estimates such spaces provide more than £34bn of wellbeing benefits by improving mental and physical health. Previous research by Fields in Trust found that 16% of people said their local park or green space was under threat.
