Community Grant Fund – Restoring Nature – Peak District

The fund is a total of £60,000, open to community groups, schools and landowners within the Wild Peak Boundary that want to start or continue a project that improves land for nature in and around the Peak District. There is also an element of using community engagement to aid this and further develop the projects.

Each group/school/landowner can apply for a maximum of £3,000, and a minimum of £500. All applications will be reviewed by a specially selected panel.

Projects must…

• Support land or areas in the Wild Peak boundary
• Be time sustainable and not require ongoing funding from DWT 
• Be delivered within agreed timescales between Sept 24 – Feb 26 
• Show how the local community, landowners or local people have helped in the identification of activity or have been consulted/engaged  
• Show what difference will be made 

Applications will be considered and assessed by the panel on 23rd October 2024, and once again on 16th December 2024
