Grants to help connect young people with the countryside and nature
Several organisations across the South East have recently been awarded grants totalling £20,000 from the CLA Charitable Trust (CLACT), to help connect young people with nature and the countryside.
The trust is funded almost entirely by subscriptions and donations from members of the CLA, and has recently approved applications from:
- Boaz Trust in Hampshire, awarded £5,000 to support improvements to its field to fork programme as part of its work supporting adults with learning disabilities.
- Bridewell Gardens in Oxfordshire, awarded £5,000 to support the core costs of horticultural tools, materials and equipment for horticulture-based mental health recovery services.
- Pennyhooks Farm Trust in Oxfordshire, awarded £5,000 to help with its woodwork and conservation programmes for people with autism.
- River Thames Boat Project in London, awarded £5,000 to support its School on the River education activities for young people.
Since its foundation in 1980, the trust has given more than £2m in grants to a wide variety of organisations and projects.
