Hi,

I work for the charity Healthy Planet and the information about us on this page is incorrect. As the marketing executive for the charity it is my job to ensure that things like this get changed to accurately reflect us.

I made changes to the page, however you have deleted them. The text that should appear on the page is as follows, please can this be changed. I am happy to email you from my healthy planet email account to verify myself.

Thanks

Healthy Planet Foundation is an environmental charity in the United Kingdom formed with the belief that small actions can make big changes. The charity urges people to pursue sustainable, healthy living options on a daily basis by revitalising spaces, encouraging the repurposing of facilities that already exist and creating an internationally connected grass-root conservation community.

By being solution focused, pro-active and collaborative Healthy Planet works in an innovated and positive way to practice and promote all aspects of sustainable, healthy living.

Healthy Planet are a registered charity under the Charity Commission number 1122475 and are a registered Company Limited by Guarantee in England at Companies House under 06406524.

History

Healthy Planet was formed in January 2008 by founder Shaylesh Patel on the ethos that small changes together would build sustainable, healthy communities leaving a positive legacy for our future generations.

The charity’s impact has grown rapidly over the last few years due to its partnerships with commercial landlords in 2010. Sponsoring Healthy Planet’s charitable efforts, landlords provide vacant spaces for the charity to occupy, with beneficial community projects and partners that share the same aim of sustainability. Through a government run scheme, landlords are able to qualify for 80% mandatory relief on their property rates and in agreement contribute 50% of the costs saved to Healthy Planet.

Continual growth has shown the charity develop its relationship with important organisations and key partners. On May 2012, Healthy Planet commemorated the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee by providing core funding for the new Jubilee Pound in Richmond Park. Sir David Attenborough, patron of Friends of Richmond Park dug the first spadeful of earth from the freshwater habitat, saying; "This new habitat will sustain a vast array of wildlife and help combat climate change by retaining more water within the Park." The pound has created a new freshwater habitat to support water-loving plant and tree species, providing a refuge for the native wildlife.

Hello Sinead, I made some changes to the article, unfortunately what you have included above is mostly marketing puff. We concentrate on verifiable facts. Is there any respect in which you feel the article is factually incorrect? Thanks. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:54, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

This line is incorrect on our wikipedia page. Jennifer Condell is not a healthy planet executive but one of many partner organisations that we have worked with. If you need proof of this I can send you the contracts we had with her.

Healthy Planet executive Jennifer Condell has established a business offering property "guardianship" services.[6][7]

The page is also missing one of our initiatives that Healthy Planet do (this information can be backed up on our website). Can the following be added:
