Community and Conservation Fund
The Community and Conservation Fund is our own Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape fund. Whether you have a project that works in heritage, media, conservation, learning, health, accessibility, and diversity, to give but a few examples, we welcome your applications!
It primarily grows from our partnership with local businesses and others who raise money on our behalf to support grass roots conservation, access and education projects in the Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape.
It is also into this fund that all our other donations find their way from individuals or organisations. The geographical area for this fund is the whole of the Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape.
The Community and Conservation Fund wishes to attract applications from the widest range of society possible and supports equality of opportunities to access this fund.
If there is anything that the Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape Team can do to facilitate this process, please contact Grants Officer, Oka Last on 01473 265558 or email [email protected].
