Fields in Trust (FIT) is the only independent UK wide organisation dedicated to protecting and improving outdoor sports and play spaces. Through our work we have been improving the health and well-being of millions of people nationwide and strengthening communities since 1925.

Our vision is to ensure that everyone – young and old, abled and disabled and whether they live in an urban or rural area - has access to free, local outdoor space for sport, play and recreation.

To achieve this vision we work in a number of different ways:
• Permanently protecting individual playing fields from development
• Improving the available facilities on playing fields
• Influencing government policy to ensure our remaining fields aren’t sold off
• Campaigning to save fields under threat
• Helping local communities to manage their fields
• Working with partner organisations to enhance local communities through improved facilities and activities
• Increasing awareness of the value of playing fields.
