Growing a Better Future by the Conservation Foundation – apply by 31/05/22

The Conservation Foundation is working with Foresters Financial, a financial service provider with a difference, to support with funds and volunteer-power community projects that will make a difference.

£2,000 will go to each winning ‘Bee the Change’ and ‘Grow it Forward’ project to help buy materials and supplies for the projects.

£1,000 will go to the winning ‘Pick Me Up’ project to help buy materials and supplies for the projects.

If you live in Chelmsford, Bristol, or Birmingham and have a project in the pipeline to organise a clean-up, create a habitat for bees and pollinators or create a community garden, we’d love to hear from you.
