2026 Ember Designs Eco Award

We are very proud and excited to shout from the rooftops that we won one of the three 2026 Ember Designs Eco Award.

We would like to thank everyone that voted for us, it means a lot to the Team, Trustees and Volunteers.

What better way to sum it up than the words from Lee Woods from Ember Designs

It gives me great pleasure to congratulate all the amazing team at the Highfield Park Trust who have been chosen by the judges as recipients of an award.

This year has seen a record number of emails, many of which were keen the champion the work of all the staff and volunteers for producing such a wonderful space for them to enjoy.

One email in particular stood out, saying “It provides me with an opportunity to get smothered with birdsong and reboot in nature after a long day. It’s our little spot of green in a huge world of grey.”

What makes Highfield Park truly exceptional is its spirit of community. Managed entirely by a self-funded charitable trust, the park thrives because of the passion, care, and dedication of local volunteers. From the annual Apple Day celebrations, forest schools and bug hunts to their quiet morning walks and orchard tours, it is a cherished place that connects people to nature and to each other, standing as a proud testament to what a community can achieve when it nurtures its environment.

Tim, Sarah, Debbie, Sarah, Lee and of course all the amazing volunteers have created something truly special for the City. They should all be immensely proud of their accomplishments and hope this award goes some way to celebrating that.

The Highfield Park Trust.
