Natural England - Access to Nature Fund

Description

Access to Nature is a £25 million grant scheme to encourage people from all backgrounds to understand, access and enjoy the natural environment. The fund is available to not-for-profit projects that make the natural environment more accessible, especially to people who don't readily have access to it.

Eligibility

Access to Nature will only award grants to:

  • Community groups governed by a written constitution
  • Registered charities and trusts
  • Statutory bodies, including schools, colleges, local authorities, town and parish councils, health organisations
  • Companies that are not registered charities but have a charitable purpose and a community focus (for example, a company limited by guarantee and some community interest companies or social enterprises, where any surpluses are mainly reinvested for community benefit)
  • Mutual societies
  • Charitable or not-for-profit companies
  • Church based and other faith groups

They will not award a grant to:

  • Individuals and sole traders
  • Profit-making organisations, except social enterprises
  • Companies limited by guarantee whose main purpose is not community-focused

They will not normally award grants to organisations that:

  • Are in poor financial health
  • Have demonstrated poor management of previous Big Lottery Fund grants
  • Are not established in England
