Grants

Our community grants scheme, launched in 2023, aims to work with a wide range of grass root and community organisations to enable passionate people to run projects and initiatives that help us to deliver at least one of our three aims: Supporting People, Enhancing Landscapes & Protecting wildlife.

Supporting Orin with a £1,000 Grant to run a bioblitz event?

11 year old Orin had a dream to make a BioBlitz event more attractive to young people and the grant we awarded him enabled him to buy materials for nature themed craft activities and surveying equipment, which is still being used by local schools.
