Grants of between £50 and £500 are available to community groups, schools and other not-for-profit organisations that work to remove the barriers in getting outdoors and experiencing wild places.
Spending time outdoors is good for the mind, body and soul. But generally people are spending less time outdoors. Alpkit support grass-roots direct action projects that tackle issues such as diversity & inclusion in the outdoors, participation, education, conservation and protection of our natural environment and health & well-being.
There is particular interest in projects that:
- Encourage responsible outdoor activity.
- Have long lasting benefits.
- Introduce new people to get outdoors.
- Demonstrate value for money.
Trustees meet every 2 months to consider applications. There's no limit to the number of times you can recieve an award. If possible, please apply at least 3 months before the start of a project so that the trustees have time to consider it at their next meeting.
