National Trust grant fund

The National Trust is now taking applications for its Freshwater Community Grant Fund. Grants of £500 to £5000 are available to community organisations within 20 miles of Dunham Massey in Cheshire, the Blickling Estate in Norfolk, the Holnicote Estate in Somerset, or Acorn Bank/Cockermouth in Cumbria, for freshwater-based initiatives. This could be a perfect opportunity to get some funding for Riverfly training and equipment in these areas.

See their website for more details and information on how to apply: Freshwater Community Grant Fund UK | National Trust

We are always happy to cast an eye over any funding applications our Riverfly groups are putting together — e-mail us at info@riverflies.org.
