or those exposed to the outdoors for long periods of time
(outdoor workers, people engaged in outdoor sports and leisure
activities).
- The organisation is committed to a healthy lifestyle
programme, such as the Healthy Schools Scheme.

- The organisation can demonstrate active involvement in
an environmental improvement programme, such as environment

- The organisation is able to elect designated members
who will commit to take the Living Shade initiative forward
for example, the healthy schools working team.
- The organisation will take responsibility for the availability
and active participation of sufficient numbers of helpers
during the construction of the willow feature (this should
include a minimum of 3 adults).
- The site is deemed environmentally appropriate for the
construction of a willow sculpture. Sefton Health Improvement
Support Service and the contracted willow artists will conduct
a site visit to determine its suitability for a willow structure
and recommendations as to the type of structure.
- Members of the organisation can routinely access and
make regular use of the Living Shade willow structure.
