Access to Nature

 

Access to Nature is a £25 million grant scheme to encourage more people, from all backgrounds, to understand, access and enjoy the outdoors.  Access to Nature is funded by the Big Lottery Fund's Changing Spaces programme and Natural England.
Access to Nature will fund projects in communities across England , and is about the natural environment and green spaces  including projects in urban areas such as London . The priority will be to fund projects that make a lasting change to communities in areas of high social, economic and/or environmental deprivation.
The Access to Nature website (www.naturalengland.org.uk/accesstonature) includes more detailed guidance about the scheme as well as access to the online application forms.
Applications will be accepted from not-for-profit organisations including registered charities, voluntary and community sector organisations, local authorities and other public sector bodies.  To qualify for funding organisations must show evidence of partnership working and how they intend to involve the people they are trying to reach in developing, making decisions about and implementing the project.
Access to Nature will normally make grants of between £50,000 and £500,000.
The Access to Nature Grant Scheme is now open for applications and grants will be made during 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Another date for your 2008 diary is 10th to 13th October when Friends hold their Social weekend and AGM.  This will be held in Wagtail lodge with the short business meeting taking place at 11am on Saturday 11th October.  This is followed by a Ploughman’s lunch and in the afternoon the Speaker will be D Williams, author.
 
Come for the day or stay for the weekend.  For further details and costs please apply  (see website as above).
Friends have been giving service to Blackland since 1958 when a group responded to an appeal in The Guider.  This group eventually became Friends of Blackland  Farm and several of that original group, including our Founder President, Cath Scott have given continuous service from that time.
 
If you have happy memories of Blackland why not join Friends.  Life membership costs £35.   Annual just £5.  Once a member you will receive our annual Newsletter which gives details of all events.  If you are a Guider, we do realise you are probably too busy to help with hands on service but your membership would give us moral support and keep you in touch.
