Green Recovery Challenge

Cheshire Wildlife Trust

We are supporting Cheshire Wildlife Trust (CWT) in their efforts to apply for the Governments Green Recovery Challenge Fund. More details of the fund here.

CWT and their national umbrella organisation, The Wildlife Trust, are well placed to apply for this but will only have a 2 week window from 14th Sept to submit, so time is of the essence!

CWT are keen to work with a network of local community groups in Cheshire East that are planning nature based neighbourhood improvements that benefit nature. It must benefit a green recovery but can also have a health and wellbeing spin. This might be the creation of a community garden, meadow or woodland or the creation of some other wild space in a school or workplace. CWT are therefore looking for any small local groups who may have plans for such a project and are needing a practical and financial boost.

I'm sure this could benefit a number of local groups. Jan Shone, Development Manager at CWT who is tasked with making this all happen, would be grateful if you can have a think and let us know of any groups or projects that you are aware of through your local networks that might be 'shovel ready' to go. If you do, if you can please be in touch and will put you in touch with Jan.

This is a great opportunity for Cheshire East to benefit through Green Recovery, and to achieve important health and wellbeing outcomes for local residents. Thanks in advance for your help.
