About the Programme
Connection to nature can have powerful social, health, economic and environmental benefits. These benefits are not shared equally. Our most deprived communities also have the least access to nature where they live. Communities are working to tackle this problem, but their efforts are often stifled by a lack of investment.
The NBN programme aims to strengthen community organisations, providing the financial and non-financial resources they need to create greener neighbourhoods and communities more connected to nature.
This work will take place in a small number of places and explore how sustained commitment, engagement and investment can transform outcomes for a place, people and nature.
Specifically, this funding partnerships will:
-
Provide direct support in the form of core funding to selected urban community organisations that share our aims.
-
Provide communities with the means to connect with the great work already happening around the county and develop peer network.
-
Enable communities to co-develop equitable long-term plans to increase nature connection locally.
-
Support community-led story telling of this work, its challenges and successes.
The rationale and development of this work can be found in our theory of change which is linked on the application page.
