You can help #BringBackNature

Jed Mercurio is supporting Friends of the Earth’s #BringBackNature campaign.  

Being out in nature gives a massive boost to children's physical and mental health. However, 1.6 million children under the age of 12 in the UK live in neighbourhoods deprived of green space.  

To tackle this, Friends of the Earth, in partnership with The Co-operative Bank, will work to Bring Back Nature through the Postcode Gardener programme - an initiative where professional gardeners work alongside communities to transform built up areas into havens for nature and play. In addition, we will campaign to retain the UK's environmental protections, so nature is protected for generations to come.

Let's raise some money this summer and help bring back the magic of nature to every child.

The Prize Draw

Jed Mercurio, writer of BBC hit drama Line of Duty, has donated a signed post-production script from the show’s thrilling series one first episode – A Disastrous Affair.

To be in with a chance of winning this special one-of-a-kind item we are holding a prize draw with each entry costing £2. You can enter multiple times. 

Entries can be purchased between Wednesday 7 June and Wednesday 28 June. The winner will be announced before Monday 10 July 2023.  

And what’s even better, The Co-operative Bank will match all funds from across the #BringBackNature prize draws up to the sum of £25,000!

What's the prize?

BBC’s Line of Duty follows the investigations of AC-12 as they work to uncover corruption and wrongdoing within their own ranks. Viewers were gripped throughout as the team navigated a web of lies, deceit and betrayal as they fought to bring the guilty to justice. With stunning performances and nail-biting storylines, Line of Duty quickly became one of the most talked-about shows on television.

Winner of the Royal Television Society's Writer's Award, Jed Mercurio has donated a special signed post-production script from the show’s thrilling series one first episode – A Disastrous Affair. First broadcasted on BBC Two on 26 June 2012, the episode launched the award-winning show to millions of viewers, introducing the characters of superintendent Ted Hastings and detectives Kate Fleming and Steve Arnott, as they try to tackle corruption and work within the letter of the law.

Any funds raised in excess in £50,000 will help fund Friends of the Earth’s wider work including our campaign to strengthen the laws which protect nature and wildlife.

About Friends of the Earth

Founded in 1971, Friends of the Earth has been standing shoulder to shoulder with communities campaigning to protect our incredible planet for over 50 years. From stopping climate-wrecking projects to transforming built-up areas into havens for nature and play, supporters are at the centre of the movement demanding environmental justice, taking local action to create global impact.

About The Co-operative Bank

In 1872, The Co-operative Bank was born from the co-operative movement, and co-operative values continue to be a fundamental part of everything we do. 

We are the only high street bank with a customer-led Ethical Policy, which gives customers a say in how their money is used. Our customers consistently tell us that protecting the planet is their top priority, which is why we've partnered with Friends of the Earth to enable change in local communities. 

We believe it’s our duty to stand up for the issues that matter to our customers, and which bind our colleagues, customers and partner organisations together. Because unlike a lot of businesses, we haven’t just developed an ethical approach - we’ve had one from the start. 

Ethical then, now and always.
