Funding
The communities and businesses of Northumberland National Park already benefit from a significant amount of external funding each year. By implementing a successful approach to funding, local people can be empowered to run trial projects, deliver services in targeted areas, address new agendas, and engage in partnership activities which would otherwise be restricted by a lack of core funds. Northumberland National Park have a Funding Guide and a monthly email Funding Bulletin to assist local people looking for external funds.
National Park Funding Guide
Here is a list of some indicative funders who may be able to support projects helping to address climate change. Many of them have windows when the grants are available and specific conditions that the applicants must fulfil. It's worth reading around and making contact with those that you think may be able to support your idea, before you start applying for funds. Don't forget that Northumberland National Park Authority also has some grants available.
