Dr Vikki Houlden is a researcher at the University of Leeds, and is leading a project to understand how parks in Leeds and Bradford can meet the needs of our diverse local communities. The project is working closely with Leeds and Bradford councils to deliver action plans for change.
Sunshine and Smiles have been invited to be part of this research to ensure local parks are welcoming and inclusive for everyone.
The project would love to hear from you! They’d like to understand what makes parks great, and what makes them more difficult for you to use. You could win a £100 shopping voucher by completing their survey.
