Being in, on or next to water can be good for us. It contributes to physical, social and psychological health benefits. Government is committed to everyone living within 15 minutes walk of a green or blue space. See the Environmental Improvement Plan.

The Blue Space Forum: Health and Inequalities project asked people:

  • how blue space keeps them healthy and well

  • what keeps them from accessing blue space and getting the most from it

The findings give the lived experiences and perspectives of:

  • frequent and infrequent blue space users

  • experts in the areas of blue space, health and inequalities
