We focus mainly on small awards that have a direct impact, with support in the region of £50-£500 and can be financial, or in the form of equipment support. This is to community groups, individuals and organisations that encourage people to get outdoors and tackle barriers that may prevent people from accessing the benefits.

Projects that; Encourage responsible outdoor activity | Have long lasting benefits | Introduce new people to get outdoors | Demonstrate value for money

• - Diversity, Participation and Inclusion Projects that engage individuals and groups from a diverse range of backgrounds with the outdoors.

• - Environmental Projects that seek to support, rewild, conserve, or generate understanding of our environment and wild places.

• - Health and Wellbeing Projects enabling people to gain physical and mental wellbeing from the Great Outdoors.

• - Education Projects which encourage the development of outdoor skills and activities to be experiences by wider groups. Such as Hill and Moorland / Mountain Leader, First Aid, D of E, Community focused Forest Schools.

• - Holidays

• - Charity challenges

• - Commercially led travel expeditions

• - Scout Jamborees – due to the large number of participants involved in Scout Jamborees, this is not something we are able to support.

• - Retrospective applications – make sure you get your application in on time!

• - Currently we are unable to support projects outside of the UK

We welcome multiple awards over time and each award is assessed on its own merit.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis every couple of months where available funds are awarded for that period. Please ensure you meet the criteria before applying and try and have at least 3 months before the project starts so that the trustees have time to consider it at their next meeting.
