The key points of the grant scheme are as follows:-

  • The grants cover 50% of the cost of the project up to a maximum of £250
  • This can be match funded with volunteer labour and gifts of materials, equipment or specialist skills

There is no set list of eligible projects but grants have been awarded for:-

  • The creation and management of nature areas including tree planting and woodland management, pond creation or restoration, wildflower grassland creation.
  • Construction of dipping platforms, paths, fences and seating
  • Purchase of educational equipment including identification guides, pond dipping nets and magnifying lenses

In return for receiving a grant, organisations are asked to acknowledge Fareham Borough Council in any associated publicity and produce a report which can take the form of a photographic diary, children's artwork, letters about the project, press releases, newspaper articles etc.
