Green Pennant Award
The Green Flag Award itself is for public-run open spaces, but the same scheme runs an award for community/charity-run public spaces, such as Millennium Greens and Doorstep Greens called the Green Pennant Award. This scheme, started in 2002, has adapted the criteria for voluntary organisations.
Sites for a Green Pennant Award are judged against eight key criteria:
- A welcoming place
- Healthy, safe and secure
- Well maintained and clean
- Environmental sustainability
- Biodiversity and heritage
- Community involvement
- Achievement

“They are preparing to begin again:
Problems, new pennant up the flagpole
In a predicated romance.”
