About this tender

Natural England is seeking an evidence brief on barriers to, and enablers of, nature engagement for people from different Faith groups. The notice identifies a gap: no existing evidence brief, report or academic paper covers (i) barriers to nature engagement for Faith groups, or (ii) enablers and tested interventions, including what works, where, why, and for which Faith groups. The work would extend the Included Outside series of evidence briefings, which already covers people with disabilities, people on lower incomes, older people and ethnic minorities. The notice states that Faith communities benefit from nature's health and wellbeing offers and show strong engagement with the natural world, but are at risk of reduced opportunities for nature connection and involvement in nature recovery, and are often under-represented in green and blue spaces. Natural England anticipates that barriers and enablers will differ between Faiths and between lived-experience groups within this diverse population. The deliverable is therefore expected to differentiate findings by Faith group rather than treat Faith communities as a single category. Deliverables, format, duration and budget are not specified on the page provided.

Key requirements

  • ✓Evidence review of barriers to nature engagement for faith groups
  • ✓Identify enablers and tested interventions, detailing what works where, why, and for which groups
  • ✓Produce a publishable evidence briefing aligned with the Included Outside series

About this sector
