Are you a landowner, community group, school or part of a group of people who want to make a real change to your local area in and around the Peak District?

We have a fantastic opportunity for you to get financial support for projects that make a huge difference to your local area, communities and can help restore nature across the Peak District.

Key points

· The Community Grant Fund is for a total of £60,000

· Each landowner/group/school may apply for a maximum sum of £3000, and a minimum of £500

· You can apply for more than one project, as long as they are delivering nature's recovery on a different site

Projects must…
